in the North Land will be interâ€" ested in the following reference to the formal opening of the new wing at St. Paul‘s hospital at Hearst. The account of the event is by the Hearst corresâ€" pondent<of The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasing:â€" Formal Opening of New Wing of St. Paul‘s A pleaslng manifestation of a real community spirit of coâ€"operation and goodâ€"will marked the ceremony attendâ€" ing the ‘formal opening of the*:ew wing, known as the Mitchell materhity wing, recently added to St. Paul‘s hosâ€" pital here last Friday, Jan. 27th. The dedicatory service was conducted by Rev. R. V. Wilson, pastor of St. Paul‘s United Church, assisted by Mrs. Monck, of Timmins, Northern repreâ€" sentative ‘of the United Church Woâ€" men‘s Auxiliary Society. In his reâ€" marks Mr. Wilson dwelt on this worthâ€" while manner of practical Christianity and missionary effort in establishing such institutions where they were needed and referred to the great need in Canada, where, strange to say, inâ€" fant mortality was all too high. Mrs. Monck congratulated the comâ€" munity on the splendid reputation of St, Paul‘s hospital and referred to Miss Mitchell, the donor of the wing, whose generosity had made the buillding posâ€" sible. Rev. Thos. Mitten, rector of St. Matâ€" thew‘s Anglican Church followed in a congratulatory vein paying special triâ€" bute toâ€"the great coâ€"operation among local doctors for the good of the comâ€" munity.

Asslsts at â€"Formal Opening * Event. Just like Quaker ? Impossible, Madam‘ wing, made a few remarks on the need of the building and regretted that cirâ€" cumstances had prevented it being built earlier. Rev. Fr. Lambert, of Hearst Roman Catholic Church, spoke next. On beâ€" half of his people and all the people of the community he wished to express appreciation of the great work done by St. Paul‘s hosp:tal, and asked Mrs. Monck to especially convey this sentiâ€" ment to the Women‘s Missionary Soâ€" ciety from his people. He also wished to take advantage of the opportunity to extend his thanks to the staff of the hospital for their care and treatment which was always of the best. The old bu:lkding has also been reâ€" modelled to meet growing needs, and Hearst should be justly appreciative of this institution in our midst. ‘This modern addition, consisting of nursery, public and private wards, case and sterilizing rsoms and service rooms with all accessories, will fill a longâ€" felt want. s Afternoon tea was served by the lad‘es of the town after the inspection. Dr. L. A. Aubin followed in his usual happy vein, and in a felicitous speech congratulated the staff on their effiâ€" ciency and coâ€"operation, and dwelt on the great assistance the hospital was to him in his work and how great an asset it was to this North country. Miss Jean Alexander, acting supt. of the hospital, in a few words thanked those present for their interest in the work and read a telegram of good wishes for the occasion from Miss Brown, the superintendent, who was absent because of illness. The visitors were then conducted through the building and given an opâ€" portunity to see the addtion and all were pleased with what they saw.

Ontario Taking Notable Part in Gold Production There is a general agreement with the suggestion that one of the things the world needs toâ€"day for a revival of international trade is a supply of new gold. In supplying this need, it should not be forgotten that the part of Canâ€" adaâ€"of Ontarioâ€"of the Porcupineâ€" is a notable one. Discussing the matâ€" ter in a recent editorial article The Toronto Mail and Empire one day last week had the following:â€" "In his address to the Ottawa Uniâ€" versity Club on Wednesday, Sir Wilâ€" liam Clark, British High Commissioner to Canada, noted that in May last the Bank of England resumed the purchase of gold. From India came about 50,000,000 pounds sterling an amount approximately equivalent to a year‘s output of the mines in South Africa, and the shipments seem likely to conâ€" tine. India for years imported gold on a considerable scale, and her h:idden hoards are thought still to be very large. Another unexpected addition to Britain‘s gold supplies was the domesâ€" tic "gold rush" when the public sudâ€" denly ‘realized what a high price was obtainable for gold and hurried to sell every kind of article from sovereigns to ~artificial teeth. According to an official estimate at least 14 million pounds worth was obtained in this way. "These statement serve to emphasize' the insistence of the mternat‘onal scramble for all available supplies of the precious metal. Whether nations are on or off the gold standard they must have the bullion as a means of stablizing their credit and currency systems. This worldâ€"wide condition is at the basis of the present activity in Canadian gold mining. At the criâ€" tical moment this cGuntry jumped into second place among all goldâ€"producing nations. The output of the precious metal from our mines is increasing by millions of dollars annually. Old mines are producing more than ever before. New mines are being brought into proâ€" duction; and the search for new proâ€" perties proceeds far and wide. The domestic gold production has proved a powerful factor in stabilizing the counâ€" try‘s credit position and in supporting the Canadian dollar. It is attracting tens of millions of dollars of new capiâ€" tal to the Dominion. It may, indeed, be that this particular industry is pavâ€" ing the way for an early return to ecoâ€" nomic prosperity."

ONTARIO 25190 Canada‘s metal mining industries may have to face more intensive comâ€" petition in the future than they have ever met before, but they are well able to take care of themselves in world metal markets, in the opinion of Dr. Charles Camsell, Canada‘s Deputy Minâ€" ister of Mines. Concluding his presidential address on Canada‘s Position in Empire Mineral Developments before the Engineering Institute of Canada convention at Otâ€" tawa last week, Dr. Camsell stated in reference to the Dominion‘s metallMe industries that "they are for the most part excellently equipped with ample supplies of raw material and production costs that are among the lowest in the world." "The outlook which faces producers of practically all metals except gold, in Empire and nonâ€"Empire countries alike," stated Dr. Camsell, "is not only a period of temporary overâ€"production, but also the fact that potential world supplies are probably larger than ever before ‘as compared wWith prospective world demand even under what may be considered normal economic condiâ€" Mineral Wealth of Canada is Stressed Keener Competition Coming Consumption of metals had increased rapidly, Dr. Camsell stated, but ‘he conâ€" sidered it unlikely that the sharp upâ€" trend of recent years could be mainâ€" tained indefinitely. Rather it was a question whether from now on proâ€" duction and consumption curves for for primary metal would not in many cases show a distinct flattening. The future growth of Canada‘s metal minâ€" ing industries, he believed, will depend on their ability td obtain and to hold, probably in the face of more intensive competition than they have ever met before, an even larger share of* the world‘s markets than they do at preâ€" sent. tions." Dr. Charles Camsell, Deputy Minister of Mines, Ottawa, Gives Some ... Striking Facts and Figures About Canada‘s Position The deficiencies of Canada in minâ€" eral products were pointed out to be mainly in iron ore, highâ€"quality coal and petroleum. In these Canada looms importantly as an Empire market as fortunately, in the interests of intraâ€" ‘Empire trade, Great Britain is well endowed with highâ€"quality ccals while at Canada‘s doorstep Newfoundland possesses ‘what has been described by a noted American authority as "Probâ€" ably the largest single reserve of highâ€" grade iron ore in the world." Only in petroleum, ¢f the three comâ€" modities incomparably most important in world mineral trade, is the Empire deficient of resources within its own political boundaries and here the Triniâ€" dad oil fields are most nterested as an Empire source of supply for Canada. sell explaining that 10 years ago the total production of copper, lead and The base metals‘ position of Canada was given a careful analysis, Dr. Camâ€" FRIDAY SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24â€"25 GOLDFIEL DS s MATINEE DAILY AT 2.30 P.M.

The maximum output of copper in Canada in any one year was 152,000 tons, which was the production for 1930, but Canada could now produce 200,000 tons of the metal in the elecâ€" trolytically refined state. Dr. Camsell pointed out that this capacity to proâ€" duce is more than sufficient to supply the whole of the normal consumption of Great Britain, even after allowance for indicated domestic needs. Taking into consideration other parts of the Empre that must seek an outlet for surplus copper, notably Rhodesia, it became evident that markets outside the Empire must be found for a conâ€" siderable portion of Canada‘s copper if her producing plants are" to be fully employed. Becoming Stronger Fortunately for both Canada and Northern Rhodesia, ‘their mines, he stated, are among the lowest cost copâ€" per producers in the world and this perhaps more than the extent of the ore deposits adds to the strength of their position particularly in these days of over production and intense comâ€" petition. The nickel industry, said Dr. Camâ€" sell not only gave Canada 90 per cent. of the world production of that metal but the same ore reserves added subâ€" stantially to Empire strength in copâ€" per and provided the Empire‘s largest source of platinum metals. zginc in the Dominion barely reached 100,000 tons whereas by 1930 the anâ€" nual output had increased to 400,000 Canada is also the Empire‘s only imâ€" portant source of cobalt and in recent years has become the Empire‘s leading preducer of aluminum. This latter metal, it was pointed out, is one for which rapidly extending use is anticiâ€" pated and already the production of this comparative newcomer in the ranks of important metals is materilally greater than that of tin. For the last five years the Dominâ€" ion has consistently ranked second only to the United States among the aluminumâ€"producing countries of the world.
