While the past two years have writâ€" ten new history in Canadian mining, it is believed that 1933 will be the forerunner to really big things in this branch of industry, with the present major producers leading the way in the new territcries. During the past few years several new fields have beasn in Canada that hold promise of real gold preduction. These fields have proved the magnet that has drawn several of tke larger mining companies out of their shells, and these companies, with ample capital, are in a position to make gold producers if the yellow meâ€" tal is available in sufficient quant.ity and concentration.

He was kind and neighbourly enough to give the services of himselif and his horse to convey a very sick man to the hospital. There was a scarcity of blankets and rugs for the work and the friendly exâ€"councillor even took the blanket from his horse to wrap around the sick man so that there would be no. chance of him catching cold. As the sick man was suffering from pneuâ€" monia such precautions seemed very necessary. The fact that the sick man is making good recovery, and the horse has never apparently missed the blanâ€" ket for the time it was in use for its errand of mercy, seems to prove that the kindly exâ€"councillor did the right thing all the way along. However, durâ€" ing the few minutes he was in the hosâ€" pital waiting for the. blanket and the other rugs and wrappings he had supâ€" plicd, a lady came by the hospital and noticed the horse standing in front of the door without any blanket. This lady had a kind heart and fearing that the horse might suffer from the cold, she entered the hospital to inquire as to the ownership of that horse. When she found the owner she told him that if he did not at oncee move the animal or cover it properly with a blanket she would take steps to see that he was dealt with by the law. The owner of The horse replied that he thought the horse was all right, that it was not snow or ice on the animal, but simply steam from the animal‘s own warm body In the meantime, however, the blanket. and dther articles were secured and the horse and owner went their way. A friend of The Advance who noted the incident thought it amusâ€" ing that two people who seemed to be particularly kind and humane and thoughtful should be at cross purposes in case like this. ‘The lady showed her kindness of heart by her thought for the horse, and the man proved his kindness of heart by his care of the sick man. It is pleasant to conclude the reference by adding that the sick man is now making good recovery and the horse has not suffered any from its standing in the cold without its blanket.

Two groups are contending for dominance on the financial markets. One, which has the support of the government and and the banking interests, is attemptâ€" ing to maintain the Canadian dollar on .a gold basis, the other, supported by farmers in the various provinces, by the flour milling interests, the. newsâ€" print exporters, and some industrialists want to get it on a parity with sterling. Under such conditions the Dominion dollar would decline to from 60c to 70c¢c. Halifax Herald:¢â€"But when all is said and done, it must be remembered that a great many vicious and dangerous characters are $o be found in prison populations, and these cannot be dealt with other than firmly, and when need arises, as at Dorchester a few days ago, they must be dealt with in a manner leaving no room for doubt about the determination of those in charge. It is obvious that the farmers and exporters would gain by a depreciation of the currency. Forexample, the newsâ€" print exporters who profited $20 milâ€" lions from the exchange last year might be expected to profit about $35 millions if the Canadian dollar were reduced to parity with sterling. That Canadian news print exporters made $20,000,000 out of exchange last year (as compared with about $9,000,â€" 000 by gold mines) is declared by Busiâ€" ness Week, New York, which says:â€" the ‘holes and fired them.
