‘_mms Men Pay Visit to THURSDAY, JUxnr® »TnH, 19as ordinary way. Most of them féel that they must attend this race and as transportation is limited, very often well dressed and respectable people may be seen dangling their legs from the rear of a delivery truck or sitting on the roof of a neighbour‘s lorry, paying for their ride by being nursemaid to the children. We saw many humorous Derby partiesâ€"del:very horses, donkeys, poriies and" old wrecks of cars were all commandegred for service. : 8: L. Honey Writes Entertaining Account of Visit to the Derby by Himself and Reg. Smitll of Timmins. Sees Biggest Crowd of English i}ver at Race. Tries a Flier on "Young Lover," bnt the Horse is Only a In several recent issues Dr. 8. L. Honey, of T.mmins, now overseas on a holiday and to take postâ€"graduate stuâ€" dies in his profession, has favoured readers of The Advance ‘with bright and informative letters on his impresâ€" sions of the Old Country and people and conditions there. This week The Advance :s delighted at the opportunity to present to its readers a very enterâ€" taining letter on a visit to the English Derby. The following is the letter:â€" As our coach threaded its way past the slower traffic we had smiles and salâ€" utations of all descriptions from those whom we left behind. Eventually we reach the Epsom Downs and I have my first glimpse of humans by the milâ€" lion. One feature I should like to menâ€" tion hereâ€"and it is poss:bly due to this that the Derby is so popularâ€"there is noentrance fee collecteéd. No doubt this accounts for many thousands going there for a holiday and not watching the race. In the paddocks and in the betterâ€"class seats there are thousands of silkâ€"hatted and beautifullyâ€"gowned folk who come specifically to watch and Dear Advance:â€"Is the Derby over, past and gone for another year? Well, a million English foik and two Timâ€" minsites give evidence to the affirmative We think we were eyeâ€"witnesses but personally I wouldn‘t care to be crossâ€" examined too closely on that point beâ€" cause I was pressed from all sides until by eyes buiged and I could scarcely fee) the seat on which we were all standing. Preparations the night before conâ€" sisted of arranging w.th Reg. Smith, buying a raincoat, telling the hospital that I wouldn‘t be on duty, pinning money in waistcoat pouket to be as a reserve after being "picked." %}ng a ticket on a sightâ€"seeing bus which guaranteed to get us through the dense traffic and on the grounds by noon. leaving an early call, with the porter and putting out my boots in the hall to beâ€" Morning came soon and with it "Reg" â€"a@ll ready for the big day. We got films for the camera and each a boxâ€" lunch. Then to the bus! The minute of departure arrives and we edge out into the traffic; It is not long until we find ourselves in ong of the arteries where traffic is practically all going as we are. The crowd is jubllant. They are going to the Derby! It is difficult for a Canadian attending his first race at Epsom to realize that there is a quantity which might be termed "the Derby spirit." â€" Ordinarily English people on the street do things daily in the ordinary way but on this particular day they expect each other to do every day things in an extraâ€" wag'er on the horses. Some idea of their desire to ‘be present may be imaâ€" gined when one hears that the seats priced from twenty dollars upwards are all,taken when â€"we arrive at twelve o‘clock. The race commences at 1.30. Knowing us, Mr. Editor, you can imaâ€" gine how relievedâ€"we were when heard that there were none available We travelled along the course and discovered people going into a reserved section for a mere trifle of $3.00 Reg. and I lined up in the queue and after entering discovered â€"a joker.â€"It being that three times as many people were allowed in as could be <accommodated with seats. Fortunately for us the betâ€" ting attracted so many down from. their seats on the stand that we soon found ourselves up high and dry. ; At one everyone on the stand stood up. Others crowded on after this move and we were unable to sit down. Promptly at 130 the contestants for the King‘s Plate cantered past us on their way to the startingâ€"point. The colours of each each horseâ€"owner are wellâ€"known to the crowd and as the jockey passes he is excitedly acclaimed by those who wish him to win. Considerable exciteâ€" â€" STOMACH WOULD _ NLL HIM bouathmlhnveforthehstfivem I everyone suffering with stomach in‘ dmmlw mmu«mmm di‘: 6 brifads after hearing the explanation I decided to take the fifty dollars or nothing. They are off! â€" You have long since heard the result. I can‘t téil you exactly where my horse (‘Young Lover") came in but a sympathizing neighbour told me that he wasn‘t among the first ten. An amusing incident occurred when the folk near us found that in addition to losing their money, the delegate who was placing the bets was carrying the only key for opening the beerâ€"bottles. No spoken word could be heard but with much gesturing when he looked up they indicated their shortâ€" age. He took the key from his pocket, walked over to the people on the lower seats and asked them to pass it up. in due time it arrived and was hailed with rejoicing and no doubt affected the total bet on the next race. Reg. and I had had enough standing by this time so we came down and wandered over the course where we saw the gypsies, German bands, fakirs of all descriptions of which you have so often heard and whose presence makes the Derby famous. It is on account of these many attractions that the Derby is a cirecus or a picnic to many people rather than a horseâ€"race. Tens of thousands of them could under no cirâ€" cumstances have seen a horse on the course during the race hours. The King‘s Plate I should remain on duty and allow one of my English colâ€" leagues, who can appreciate this form of recreation, to go in my stead. Our bus left the grounds at 5.30. The raincoat had been unnecessary alâ€" though the papers had promised "showers." Our drive back to London wasâ€"of necessityâ€"leisurely. We made the twenty miles in two and oneâ€"half hours flat and our day at the Derby was over. May I whisper to a fellow Canadian that among the delightful things done by Englishmen many are very agregable to me but I am rather too old to learn to love the Derby and were I here at the next contesting of machines. ‘The delegate was insistent Our next outing will be at Leicester where Mrs. Honey and I are to be guests of the British Dental Association at their fourâ€"day convention in that city. Says that the Ashley Ore is North of Porphyry (From The Northern Miner) That the West vein of Ashley Gold in Bannockburn is probably equal in importance to. the original discovery vein is indicatedâ€"by drifting results to date on the 500â€"ft. level. So far someâ€" thing like 600 ft. of drifting has been done. of which close to 500 1t is of ore grade and will be stoped, The Norâ€" thern .Miner can cay on the best of authority.â€". The most interesting deâ€" velopment resulting from this work on the West Vein is that the north drift is not through the eastâ€"west porphyry dyce and the last 100 ft. of driving has been in ore of better width and grade than the average to the south. No work has previously been attempted north of the porphyry so it is felt that finding ore there has opened up poss:â€" bilities of considerable importance. Faulting at the 625â€"ft. level has been solved after about 400 ft. of driving on would have comparatively high millâ€" heads is being borne out by the average to date of $12.04. ‘This average is based on gold at $20, and if translated into Canadian funds at the present price for the metal, works out at almost $18 values. Present drift faces, both north and south, have been in ore of good grade for the last 200 ft. of drifting on that level. On the 750â€"1t. level little more than diamond drilling is being done at the moment. The Court of Appeal at Toronto has reserved judgment in the dispute of Mrs. K. Sragali, of Boston Creek, and the Capitol Life Assurance Co. of Canâ€" ada, over an action brought by Mrs. Sragali for an insurance policy of $1,000 on the life of her late husband. JUDGMENT RESERVED IN INSURANCE DISPUTE CASE At the Supreme Court sittings at Halileybury in April, Mr. Justice Kerâ€" win, after reserving judgment, awarded the plaintiff judgment, ‘but the comâ€" pany carried the action to the Court of Appeal. The appeal recently came before Chief~ Justice Latchford and Justices Fisher and Riddell, and the counsels were V. Evon :Gray for the company, and L. A. Landriau for reâ€" «pondent. Until then, Au Revoir, â€" S. L. Honey The committce recommends that for some years to come, public debt be inâ€" curred only in cases in which the proâ€" posed undertakings will ‘be either selfâ€" supporting, or are absolutely necessary to effect economy in operation, or are for the general benefit of Ontario in the economic development of provinâ€" cial or national resources; also, that a tentative budget of capital expendiâ€" tures, modifiable annually, be prepared and kept prepared for five or ten year periods in advance. Recommends Plan to Cut Public Expense through its chairman, J. M. Macdonâ€" nell, general manager of the National Trust Company, Limited, made the folâ€" lowing recommendations to the Honâ€" ourable George 8. Henry, Prime Minâ€" ister, as gan aid to reducing expendiâ€" tures and eflfecting such econsmies as will ensure a balanced provinzsial budâ€" get at the earliest possible date:â€" ~â€"The Ontario Committee on Econâ€"my in Public Finance, on which the cities, towns and counties of Ontario are reâ€" presented, and on which John Kn>x is a member for this part of the North, and which was organized in December last under the auspices of the Canaâ€" Administration That a study be mace of the feasâ€" bility of coâ€"ordinating Provincial Govâ€" ernment departments and services, the centralization of services, etc. . That the personnel establishments of every department of government be studied thoroughly to determine just how many employees of each grade are actually required; and that any overmanning which may be found be adjusted by nct making appointments to fill vacancies, and by retirements from the service; also, that, as according to Dominion Bureau of Statistics Reports, the cost of living has been reduced over twenty per cent. since December, 1929, the rates of remuneration obtaining in provincial services be studied in the light of the present cost of living, the rates prevailing in private undertakâ€" ings, the comparative security of emâ€" ployees in public service, and the reâ€" duced income of the average citizen and taxpayer. Financing ‘That sinking funds be established for every debenture issue, or even ‘better, that issues be confined to serial bonds. Public Domain That the public domain should be conserved so as to greatly increase the future potential revenue therefrom. Public Relief The present system whereby municiâ€" palities pass on to the Federal and Frovincial authorities the bulk of their expenditures on relief encourages exâ€" travagance on the part of municipaliâ€" ties. An investigation, with a view to some readjustment of this situation and a reduction of the cost, should be undertaken. The committee also reâ€" commends that before public relief is granted in any form, other than imâ€" mediate emergency relief, every effort be exercised by investigation and otherwise to ensure that the immediate families of meedy persons assume their proper obligations in so far as they may be capable of so doing. The committee praises the Governâ€" ment for the economies which have been effected this year, and recognizes the fact that governments can move only as quickly as public opinion will permit; also that much of the expendiâ€" ture in the past has been due to the demands of the people and, not inâ€" frequently, to the petitions of Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce. The committee continues: "the Govâ€" ernment‘s own publicity, combined with the comments which have arisen from various sources, as to the present posiâ€" tion of governmental finances and the steady growth of taxationâ€"federal, provincial and municipalâ€"has, in the opinion of this committee, given the Government an opportunity to act vigorously in the interests of economy. This publicity has, we believe, brought the people of this province to realizâ€" ation of the fact that drastic econoâ€" mies must henceforth be exercised by the Government and that if: serious financial difficulties and further inâ€" creased taxation are to be avoided by the province and public confidence restored, the provincial budget musy, be balanced with the least possible deâ€" lay. ‘The citizens generally have been encSuraged to second the efforts of the In commenting upon the revenues and expenditures of the Province of Ontario since 1914, the committee points out that the capita revenue has increased from $3.68 to $10.71 in 1921â€" 22, to $16.55 in 1930â€"31, and $16.36 in 1931â€"32. Taxation alone has increased in the same years from $1.05 to $5.80, $9.57 and $10.40. Expenditures in the same years have gone up from $3.93 to $11.21, to $16.69 and to $16.96. Direct debt went up from $14.83 to $82.12, to $152.80 and to $168.71. while indirect debt went up from $3.54 to $15.94, to $23.51 and was in 1931â€"32 $23.49. The committee further states that the tenâ€" dency to increase has not yet spent itself is evidenced by the fact that the provincial statement of assets and liaâ€" bilities for 1931â€"32 shows an increase in net funded debt of over $43,500,000 and in unfunded debt of over $10,000,â€" 000; and by the further fact that the budget for 1932â€"33 estimates a deficit of $2,952,000. taxation has reached such proportions as to become a most important factor in overhead, consequently in planning developments careful attention must be Geo. 8. Henry. of _ ‘Some weeks ago it was reported that a gold bearing vein had been opened to the south of a porphyry dyke of 30 foot width. At that time the dyke had }been stripped but recent work carried trer:ches across to the north side where a new vein has been discovered : under heavy overâ€"burden. Sampling by J. C. ‘Houston of a twoâ€"foot width yielded $20 values in gold. A feature of this work has been the discovery of molybâ€" denite and pyrite mineralization in the dyke, reminiscent of Kirkland, Lake conditions given to the effect of taszation upon Shares of Lee Gold Co. . are Called for Trading Shares of Lee Gold Mines, Limited, have been called for trading on the Standard Stock and Mining Exchange. and â€"the Montreal curb market. The Lee grosup of properties, comprisâ€" ing 680 acres in the Swayze district, is under the management of J. J. Byrne, well known mining operator of Halleyâ€" bury, with J. C. Houston, M.E., formerâ€" ly mine manager of Dome Mines, as consulting engineer. "As a result of the foregoing, public opinion, we believe, has reached the point where it appreciates it is the duty of each citizen to assist the govâ€" ernment in its efforts towards ecanomy by assuring it of the support of the general body of citizens in any attempt it may make toward that end. Public opinion so favourable to economy havyâ€" ing been established, the Ontario Com=â€" mittee on Economy in Public Finance is inclined to the belief that if the present opportunity is not taken adâ€" vantage of by the Government, such public opinion is likely to require that most drastic steps be taken immediateâ€" ly to ensure a balanced budget at the earliest possible date." reâ€" Capitalization consists of 3,000,000 shares of $1 par value authorized, of which 1,700,000 shares are issued or to be issued, leaving 1,300,000 shares in the treasury. The company‘s balance sheet as at June 8th discloses a sound finanâ€" cial position with current assets, mostâ€" ly cash, of $21,645, against current liabilities of only $4,969. Over $30,000 has been expended on the development of the Lee properties, erection of camp buildings, plant and equipment, etc. A crew of ten men has been at work for some time on the Lee, under Martin shunsby;Coâ€"discoverer of the Halcrowâ€" Swayze Mine, and a large programime of surface work, including stripping and trenching is under way. ‘‘Nowhere in Ontario is such activity, general interest and hopeful developments of a new gold'_ _mming. camp as in â€"the area surrounding the Swayze township.
