New Liskeard, as a result, is sure of safe and progressive municipal direction for 1932. A despatch last week from Elk Lake says;â€""Elk Lake is quite a rendezvous this year for airmen, there being at present installed in the village six or seven aviators, who will likely be stayâ€" ing around here for a few days until they are sorted out and sent to their different posts. Jeff O‘Brien is doing Imost of the fiying at present. He is making regular trips to Matachewan, and Sunday made four trips to Whiteâ€" fish Lake. Mr. O‘Brien is wellâ€"known }in aviation. He has made numerous flights over the continent and has [written many articles im connection with fiying. M. P. MacNamara is anâ€" other who is at Elk Lake this year. He is likely to be a permanent fixture there, as he is going to keep the books for the aviation station. Superintenâ€" dent Ross Baker will also be at Elk Lake a good part of the time and will go from one station to another, but stay in Elk Lake a great part of the time. Wilson Clarke, who did all the fiying last year, and Mr. Langford, are away on trip to Chapleau. Mrs. Langâ€" ford is at Elk Lake, awaiting her husâ€" band‘s return. She is taking rooms in a house belonging to Don Connelly. Mr. Fisher, another employe of the General Airways Company, is domiciled at Gordon Porter‘s. Mr. Brown who is president of the company, is expected to arrive in Elk Lake before long, to allot the different vbosts to the fiyers. Mr. Brown is the R.CA.F. man who brought down the German ace Reichtoâ€" fen during the Great War. The planes they have at present are a couple of Balancas, a Moth, also a Fairchild. It is expected that Jeff OBrien will be stationed at Amos, although it has not yet been definitely settled." It is pointed out by a mining and industrial edition of _ The Toronto Mail and Empire that the gold producâ€" tion of Canada is recovered by thres methods. There is the sluicing or dredging of gold from the gravels of the rivers and streams, or what is called "alluvial gold mining;" the reâ€" covery of lode gold or auriferous quartz mining, and in the third place gold is often associated with other ores, particularly with deposits of copiper. Of the 1930 output 1,782,875 fine ounâ€" ces came from crude bullion recovered in gold mines. Alluvial gold accounted for 42,324 ounces. Fine gold in blister copper and base bullion made at Canaâ€" dian smelters from Canadian ores toâ€" talled â€"172,642 fine ounces, while the estimated recovery of gold in ores, matte, slags and concentrates exported to foreign smelters was 104,227 fine ounces. THE THREE WAYS THAT GOLD IS PRODUCED IN CANADA COBALT CHILD SEVERELY BURNED INX ODD ACCIDENT Elk Lake the Gathering Place Number of Planes. One Flying Company Making Headquarâ€" ters at Town. An odd accident caused severe injurâ€" ies recently to the fourâ€"yearâ€"old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. Rosicki. The little girl was playing with a pet kitten, using a silk handkerchief in the play. The handkerchief came into conâ€" tact with the open wires of an electric heater and took fire. The flame spread to the dress of the little girl and imâ€" mediately she was enveloped in fliames. Her screams brought her father who tore off the dress and beat out the flames with his hands. Before this could be done, however, the little girl was badly burned about the body, with the right arm being especially injured. The youngster is making good progress to recovery but skin grafting has been necessary to heal the burns in the arm.

Yet is the country poorer than in 17902 We firmly believe that in spite of all the misgovernment of her rulers, she has been almost consâ€" tantly becoming richer and richer. Now ard then there has been stopâ€" page, now and then short retrogresâ€" sion; but as to the general tendency there can be no doubt. A single breaâ€" ker may recede; but the tide is eviâ€" dently coming in. If we were to proâ€" phesy that in the year 1930 a popâ€" ulation of fifty millions, better fed, betâ€" ter clad and lodged than the English of our time, will cover these islandsâ€" that machines constructed on princiâ€" riles yet undiscovered will be in every houseâ€"that our vast debt as it seems to us, will appear trifling to our greatâ€" grandchildren, many peoples would think us insane. We prophesy nothâ€" ing; but this we say: If any person had told the Parliament which met after the crash of 1720 that in 1830 the wealth of England would surpass their wildest dreamsâ€"that stageâ€"coaâ€" ches would run from London to York in twentyâ€"four hours, that men would be in the habit of sailing w.thout wind, and would be beginning to r.de without horses, our ancestors woulidck have given as much credit to the preâ€" diction as they gave to "Gulliver‘s Travels"........ We cannot absclutely prove that those are in error who tell us that society has reached a turning point, that we have seen our best days. But so said all who came before us, and with just as much apparent reason." First man (talking about another man and his money)â€"*"Well, my money isn‘t worrying me." and we reproduce the article just as given. Please remember it was writâ€" ten a hundred years ago. ‘"The presâ€" ent moment is one of great distress. But how small will that distress apâ€" pear when we think over the history of the last forty years; war, comâ€" pared with which all others sink into insignificance; taxation, such as the most heavily taxed people of former times could not have conceived; dsbt larger than all the public debts that have ever existed in the world added together; the food of the people studiously rendered dear; the currency imprudently debased, and imprudently restored. Yet is the country poorer than in 17902 We firmly believe that in spite of all the misgovernment of Heard in the Cobalt post office as reported in The Northern News last week :â€" ton who is not daunted by what may appear the cloudy side of things, gave us a little pamphlet with the query: "Do you want an editorial?" It was an extract from Macaulay‘s Essays, written in 1830â€"100 years ago. The heading was "The Tide is Coming In," Powassan News:â€"Leap Year should be a good omen. â€"Business will go ahead in leapsâ€"maybe. A Hundred Years Ago To many the closing of the present year of 1931 may seem to have been one of little progress and not have contained the brightest recollections. The other evening a young man in Acâ€" Spirit of Macaulay Still in Evidence ther. The Acton Free Press weny back a hundred years for a quotation, but the article breathed a fine fai‘h and optimism. Anyone who has read history must admit that the optimist was right in this case. There used to be an old saying to the effect that everything would be all right in hundred years. In the case of the 1830 depression everything became prosperous since thenâ€"several times. Business revived and the pessimists were shamedâ€"several times. Here is the editorial article from The Acts Free Press:â€" tic recounting of the evil times has been featured. Last week The Acton Free Pross went a desirable step furâ€" vanced greatly, but there is room for further progress. It would seem to be helpful to learn of evil days in the past and to remember that they phssed and better days cameâ€"that man overcame their adversitiesâ€" that hopefulness was surely justified in the past, and so may be considered toâ€" day as equally warranted. In practiâ€" cally all of the quotations used in reâ€" gard to past depressions only pessimisâ€" azines, books and speeches of long ago to show that in years gone by thers have been people who folt deeply that the ill times they lived in surpassed all other days for meaness and poor prospects. Perhaps, these extracts from people far in the past will give pzople toâ€"day a more balanced picture of conditions in the world. The Adâ€" vance believes that the world has adâ€" vanced greatly, but therse is still room for further progress. It would seem to be helpful to learn of evil days in There were Pessimists in 1830, but the Great Essayist and Historian kept a Hopeful Spirit in Dark Days. There are people toâ€"day who believe the present depression is the worst thas has ever visited the world. It is hard to convince the man who feels the pinâ€" ch of hard times at present that the evil of the moment does not transcond all other evils of the past. There hav> been a number of newspapm>»rs that have quoted from newspapers, magâ€" TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 14TH, 1932 ‘"What‘s in a name?" Among those giving evidence at this session of police ccurt, either as complainants, defenâ€" dants or witnesses were people bearing the following names:â€"Rosicki, Stimâ€" woski, Stasiak, Represynski, Novisak, Swychuk, Menicz and Polinski. In the case cf nearly every man entering the witness box it was necessary to ask that the name be spelled out. In some cases the witness had to write the name, and in some of these instances an expert was necessary to read the name after t was written. The fact that the names do not sound as they are spellâ€" ed added to the difficulty. It is a fair bet and a safe one to wager that in most of the cases the names were not spelled right after all the trouble taken. The way of a former distinguished genâ€" tleman of Polish extraction who lived at Barry‘s Bay in Renfrew County has much to commend it. His name in its original' form had great length and intricacy. _ It would have been a stumbling block and an offence to all Englishâ€"speaking folk. So the geqt.le- man translated it into easy English as ‘"Adam Prince," and everybody was happy and Adam Prince was one of the most popular leaders in Renfrew County.

Orders for the presents and PmE e Can anyone imagine what chaos| ineptness. Picture a world without gold, silver, copper, iron, coal, lead, zinc, radium, and the innumerable other economic minerals. What could we do without trains, steamships, telephones, tcleâ€" graphs, cooking utensils, light, heat, movwer, bridges and the other convenâ€" iences of toâ€"day? Look at it from anâ€" other angle, visualize the countries which have risen from the ruck and you will find that it was their posâ€" session of minerals which was responâ€" sible. Take Great Britain with her coal, Germany with her iron, France with her coal and iron, Spain with her iron and copper, Russia with her diverâ€" sified minerals, South Africa with her diamonds, gold, copper, United States with her gold, silver, copper, lead, etc., and finally the country which is showâ€" ing the greatest resistance to the preâ€" sent day depression and which will lead the way back to recoveryâ€"Canada, with her great resources of gold, silver, copper, lead, radium and other minerâ€" als, and with the surface hardly scratched. Think of the great fortunes which have been built up through the medium of the mining industry and faith in its ultimate success; space is too short to put them down here but their name is legion. ‘ Christmas. general supplies were desriatched to the railway in ample time for delivery by Under normal weather conditions aeroplane service between Red Lake and the cutside world is usually resumed by the middle of Deâ€" cember. ‘"This year the dread word filtered through that soft weather and other delays might prevert any supplies reaching the camp in time for the great event.

Three trips were required to land all the supplies on the Howey property, but the crisis had passed. Christmas was saved." The industry of mining has its disadâ€" vantages just like any other branch of the commercial world but its reâ€" wards are much greater in proportion than in any other line of endeavour. It is not my purpose to evade the issue of unfair practices, minimize the risk of speculation, nor to conveniently omit any mention of the excesses of such speculation, but all these faults can be equally applied to any other industry or undertaking. Forget for the moment the lure and romance which has been built around mining, look at it in the:â€"cold light of reason, weigh it up in the balance of economic value and utility and what do we find? We find that mining is the Key to Human Progress. Canada has this most valuable key in her posâ€" session, let her use it to the greatest advantage and profit of all her people. Every ton of mineral raised from its hidden storehouse is new wealth which will add to her power and strength and the well being of her people. Kirkland Lake Kiwanis Club have a place for their weekly luncheons, hayâ€" iIng arranged to meet hereafter every week in the club rooms at the handâ€" new curling rink at Kirkland Lake. They held the first meeting of the new year in the elegant new quarters. seems very strange that such should be the case when one can easily find for himself that our present day civiliâ€" zation has been built to its high degree of perfection mainly through the disâ€" covery of minerals and their economic use in the scheme of affairs. To those who seek to accomplish these fine things for us let us pay triâ€" bute, let us help them to accomplish their purpose, not only with moral but ‘eal substantial support, and soon this depression will be but a memory almost forgotten in the prosperous days which await us in the not far distant future. Montreal. J.M. The mining of minerals, the great basic industry which has contributed more for the good of mankind than sny other, without which most of the great inventions now so commonplace to us toâ€"day would have been impossible, and the one endeavour which is still the most maligned by ill advised and unthinking people the world over.
