A despatch from Cochrane last week saysâ€"“Miss Viola Armstrong, who en- Joys the distinction of having been the first white child born in the district east of the Abitibl river since settle- ment was opened there, became a bride a few days ago, when she was married in the home of her parents at Bower, near here, to Howard Falconer, of Ka- puskasing. Rev. James G. Gorwill pas- tor of the United Church at Cochrane. performed the ceremony in the presence of immediate relatives and a number of friends. The 'bride was becamingly gowncd in a simple frock of white satin, with veil and orange blossoms. Miss Kathleen Armstrong was her sister's bridesmaid, and she was dressed in a dainty frock of cream colour. Clar- ence McLelland, of Cochrane, assisted the groom.

Many Indians throughout the Dominion have made a comfortable living tram the tale of na.ive moccasins. also lacrosse :ticks. hockey sticks and axe handles. “out the market for these products is now quiet thus adding another group of formerly self -support1ng Indians to the department's direct relief list. Self-Supporting Eveh since cantederation it has been ‘he aim of the government to make 'he Indians self-supporting and this mficy has met with remarkable success particularly in the agricultural areas of the prairie provinces. Following the disappearance of the buflalo 50 years ago these Indians were left destitute and wholly dependent upon the gov- ernmen: for maintainance. cday as 1 people they are selfâ€"supporting. The extent cf destitution among them is very small. Unlike most white farmers "he Indians have been given generous aid in the mater of farm implements and breeding stock ,1s mechanics. laborers and industrial employes. These on the Caughnawaga reserve, was; of Mcntreal. get much of their employment wit-h structural steel oompanies, their fleetness and sureness of 'foot being invaluable at dizzy heights on modern skyscrapers. Lack of em- ri‘oyment in the industrial communi- ties has hit this class of Indian hard and for them the department is obliged ‘0 provide relief in food and clothing. Wherever opportunity offers however, ‘he department provides work for them ‘n connection with road repairs, ditch "ligging and building operations on the reserves *ion. In a. majority of cases they own their own.ha.bitations free from encum- brance and do not paw rent. More- over, educalion and medical attendance are provided for them by the govern- ment. As a result their absolutely ne- cessary expenses are confined to fcod and clothing. In the lcng-settled parts of the Do- minion, such as the Maritime Pro- vinces, Ontario and Quebec, the In- dians on the reserves are in- close con- tact with the community at large, many Of them derive their livelihood The reaction or the Indians to the economic changes varies with their geographical situation and location and, generally, the change for the worse in their econmoic position is relatively less morked than the White population, as the Indians, for the most part. live on reserves in isolated communities and are rree from taxa‘ One condition that makes the rm- vision of unemployment relief for the Indians lees difficult is that adminis- trative control of the Indian prcblem is central and unified for all the In- dians of the Dominion and, under the. Indian act, is vested in the D3- rninion government which' has esta- blished a separate department of In- dian Affairs. Despatches from Ot;awa refer to the iremarkable anomaly in the economic position of Canadians is that of the 100.000 Indians .in this country. Those engaged in agriculture. particularly in the prairie provinces, are relatively beLter off than their white neighbors. while those Indians who are depen- dent for their living on the precarious and their own peculiar occupation of hunting are worse off than their white neighbors whom the aboriginal people can blame for actually depriving a large number of them of a living from :he woods. and the wilds. The department of Indian Affairs is confronted with an unusual problem in its work of providing relief to the hunting and fishing Indians in the more remote districts. Reports reach- ing the department indicate lack of employment in other parts has driven white men in increasing numbers into Indian territory. Word has come to the department, of white trappers being dumped by aeroplane in the Northern parts of Ontario and Quebec into the hunting grounds formerly used exclus- ively by the Indians. The scarcity of furs and the low prices paid for them has also lessened employment for In- dians who act as guides for sportsmen. Special Rations Provided A special emergency hunting ration- consisting of ammunition. twine for net and snares and certain staples for food such as flour, tea. and sugar has . een distributed among the Indians on the understanding that. they will go’ back into the bush and hunt and not loiter about the trading posts and rail- way lines seeking charity.

Leis Ma rind THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Canada‘s total Indian population ac- cording .o the 1929 census of the ab- original race, was 108,012, divided am- ongst the provinces as follows: Ontario. 27,420; British Columbia, 25,107; Que- bec, 12,885; Manitoba, 12.263; Saskat- chewan. 10184; Alberta, 9,846; North- west Territories. 4,615: New Bumswick. 1.934; Nova Scotla, 1,929; Yukon, 1,264; Prince Edward Island, 588. “Since the Clo-“e of the year 1931. developments have continued to g‘vo excellent results bath as to vein wldfh and values and in some cases both Nomental Mining “This ccmpany was formed to take over the primary and assets of Abana Mines Limited which were held by the Mining Corparation of Canada Limited under an agreement entered into in Qarill be carried on as expenditiously an possible. 4 A“ value and widths are higher than on the upper levels.

These two factors combined may be taken as a confirmation of our own op'nisn of the properties. “Tests of the ore taken from the property have been made‘ the re=.ul‘.c cf which have given satisfactory prsof that good extraction can be made by cyndication. “The development work done on the 125-ft. and 250â€"f t. levels. together with average assays, were given in the quar- terly report dated 15 cf October, 1931. Since then no further work has been done on these two levels, as all work has been concentrated on sinking; shaft to 500 ft. and development cf 375-ft. and SOD-ft. levels. The work done on these two levels to date shows that the vein is at least as gocd as the 250- ft. level both as regards vein widths and values. Drifting on the vein or the 375â€"f3. level amounts to 168 ft., and on the BOO-ft. level 127 ft., and is pro- ceeding with all possible speed. “As has been previously announced. the Ashley vein was proven ‘by the sinking of 19 drill holes over a length of 1,200 ft... open at both ends. “ So far all development has been conâ€" fined to the Ashley vein, although there are numerous other veins and stringers in the vicinity upon which work has been done, and consequently their importance is not known. but. their presence is a favorable factor in future development 01: the property. “The inclined shaft was completed to the SOD-ft. level and stations cut at the 375 and SOD-ft. levels. As soon as these stations have been completed lateral work was commenced, and the results obtained have demonstrated conclusively that a mine has already been established. At this early stage of development (shaft sinking only started late in March, 1931), is too early to prophesy what size the mine will turn out to be. but all the indi- cations shown by diamond drilling and subsequently proved by drifting. are very favorable to the development of a prOperty of importance. “Since the last quarterly repcrt the developmens at the Ashley Gold Mines property have been gratifying. and con- firm the hopes which your direcmrs have entertained with regard to the development of the claims. which were staked on behalf of the Mining Cor- poration of Canada in Oc-:cber 1930. "Silver and cobalt pncduction from both these properties. in the the final quarer of the year was highly satis~ factory. Silver production particularly was far in excess of previous rate. Unfortunately the contract for cobalt are. which terminated December 3lst. 1931. cannc t be renewed at rates as favorable and this situation is likely to prevent further important Ive-duc- tion of this metal during 1932. Min- ing operations will therefore be largely confined to ex:raction of high grade silver ore. a limited tonnage of which still remains. “The production for the quarter was 646.462 025. of silver and 343.422 lbs. of cobalt metal.

For the 11 months of 1931 French exports declined by no less than about $445,000,000, while her imports fell by only about $344,000,000. Her adverse balance on trade ac- eUunt has thus risen to about 344232;),- 000. One of the factors credited with being largely responsible for industrial and financial trouble in the world to- day is the fact that a large part of the gold supply of the world is being hoar- ded by France and the United Sates. So serious has this feature of the sit- uation become that Britain was for- ced temporarily of! the gold standard and some nations and some individuals in all nations were actually talking about permanent disavowal cf the gold standard. Just how the world could drop of! the gold standard altogether is no: easy to see. For purposes of trade and commerce some form of standard for exchange is absolutely es- sential. Gold is the logical medium. The fact that two nations through lack of foresight, and perhaps through some selfishness have goten the world into a “jam” through hoarding of gold does not mean that the rest of the world has to make a change that will not improve conditions in any way. As a ma:ter of fact there. are signs that the gold situation will solve itself by its own weight if no other way. A cable last week from England indicated this to be the fac;. It suggested that .France will soon be forced to make shipments of gold to other centres, thus starting the “circle of fluidity of gold.“ as one writer on economics phrased it. though the phrase is not a particularly lucid one. With gold being more even- ly distributed. however. there is hope for a return to more normal conditions. French trade returns issued recently indicate the possibility of this happen- ing.
