Crosscut is being continued to a point where visible gold was enâ€" cqpuntered in diamond drilling. Drifts were driven east and west along a strong quartz zone, the former for 113 fret, muck sample average for 108 feet being $337.63 uncut. West drift was carried 81 feet, 72 feet of which was ore with muck samples giving uncut average of $28.03.

Shipment of highâ€"grade having net weightâ€"of 8529 pounds was sent to Teâ€" miskaming Testing Laboratories at Coâ€" balt on Aug. 1. Meanwhile Louis Brownstein, brought from Toronto to act as a witness in the case, was returned there, on Saturâ€" day night, by mincs investigator J. E. Hedge and Detective John QGuddy of the Toronto police force, to finish out the four months‘ term he is serving, and which will expire on August 11. It is claimed there are further charges pending against him also. His many friends in this part of the North will regret that Hon. T.A. Crerar, Minister of Mines for the Dominion, is ill at The Pas, Manitoba, and all will wish him speedy recovery. He is in the hospital suffering from intestinal dyâ€" sentery, being one of the 450 or so in Dominion Minister Mines Ill at The Pas, Manitoba The Pas area at the present time afâ€" fiicted with this diisease. For the past three or four years, it is said, the fly season is accompanied by an epidemic of dysentery cases in The Pas area Last year there were half dozen inâ€" fant deaths as a result of the epidemic. This year‘s epidemic is said to comprise practically only mild cases. Hon. Mr. Crerar was in The Pas to discuss matâ€" ters of interest with The Pas board of trade and other organizations and indiâ€" viduals. He was to have left for Winâ€" nipeg on Monday but on account of the attack of the epidemic his deparâ€" ture was delayed. Reports suggest that his condition is not at all serious, the doctor in attendance being quoted as saying that Mr. Crerar was "feeling tough" but that he would likely make a speedy recovery from the attack.

The Japanese match is shorter than ours in any case, and not ncarly so stout. It is hardly possible to reduce its girth further without weakâ€" ening it too much. So they are going to make the stick shorter by someâ€" thing less than oneâ€"thirtieth of an inch. That last oneâ€"thirtieth of an inch is thrown away anyhow. So the Japanese are going to cut it off and save the wood. They expect to save a million yen or $290,000 in the course of a year. Densely crowded into a group of small and mountainous. islands, the Japanese have been compelled to conâ€" serve and utilize and plan in ways that to us seem hardly possible. Every twig from their forests is turned to account, every shred of wood from their sawâ€" mills. No land is wasted. Mountain sides are terraced. Riceâ€"fields, scarcely larger, it would seem, than a pocket handkerchief, are enclosed. Even the boundary dikes are made to grow someâ€" thing.

Bay road near Sturgeon Falls is the largest haul of its kind ever taken from a government store, according to C. Tackaberry, district engineer at North Bay. He is at a loss to explain the robbery. Only on one or two occasions have department explosives ever been stolen, and then only in small quantiâ€" Usually Careful "I don‘t know what the thieves would do with it," he said Saturday. "I don‘t see how they could sell it to ordinary mining men. They. are genâ€" erally pretty careful about the exploâ€" sives they buy, and are not likely: to purchase their dynamite from any perâ€" son that comes along." Last spring a small quantity of dyâ€" namite was stolen from the departâ€" ment‘s magazine near Tomiko. The haul was only a case or two, and to this day no trace has been found of either the thieves or the dynamite. Use of "Soup" It has been said in some quarters that the smaller amounts might have ten stolen to be "boiled down‘‘ to make the "soup‘"‘ used by thugs for breaking safes open. It is hardly likely, howâ€" ever, that 70 cases, enough to blow up a whole town, would be stolen for that rurpose. The amount taken from the TCache Bay magazine was so great that a truck must have been used to transâ€" port it. That fact that such largeâ€"scale tactics were used, only adds to the mystery of the eaffair. ~The keys to the two magazines in this area, the Cache Bay store and the one north of North Bay, are in the hands of two reliable m:n who attend to issuing of all dangerous explosives. Locked Strongly Bcth storshouses are built to governâ€" ment standards, and are strongly lockâ€" ed. ~Three strong locks were smashed with heavy bars by the persons who raided the Cache Bay magazine Mr. Tackaberry had heard of cases where a few stickes of the explosive had been stolen, presumably by someâ€" one needing it for blasting a few stumps or other such purposes. A theft of 70 cases, sufficient to blow up half the trees in a township, could not be placed in the same category. Anncuncement is made by Imperial Bank of Canada that another branch cffice will be opened in Northern Onâ€" tario at Virginiatown. This is a mining settlement in the Larder Lake district, occasioned chiefly by the activities of the Kerrâ€"Addison Mines. Mr. A. E. Butler has been appointed as manager. It is noteworthy that Imperial Bank of Canada has been the foremost in the field wherever new developments have warranted establishment of bank branches throughout the Northern minâ€" ing country. Since before the discovery of Cobalt in 1903, the bank has been identified with pioneering in North Onâ€" tario with offices in no less than 28 active North Country centres at the present time. The opening of the Imâ€" perial Bank at Virginiatown will make the 29th. The new branch will be fully equipped to handle the business both of the mines of the district and of the busiâ€" ness men of the new town, besides afâ€" fording a safe depository for the sayvâ€" ings of employees and others.

Dr. Tadeusz Jaczewski, acting director of the museum and fellow of the Royal Entomological Eociety of London, arâ€" rived at Halifax recently on the S.S. Batory from Poland. He was accomâ€" panied by his assistant Dr. Stanislaus Feliksisk. Dr. Jaczewski explained that he ‘and his assistant wish to make a comparaâ€" tive study of these fauna as between North America and Northern Europe and to obtain as complete a collection as possible for their museum. This is the first visit of these Polish scientists to Canada and for Dr. Jacâ€" zewski to North America. Both have visited South America, and in addition Dr.° Jaczewski has visited Central America and his assistant Mexico. The former is more interested in fresh water insects, while Dr. Feliksisk will devots2 his attention to mollusés. They will spend a few days making studies in the vicinity of Halifax and from there will proceed via Canadian National Railways to North Sydney en route to Newfoundland. From the latâ€" ter point the learned doctors will return to Halifax and sail from there for Poland.

For one thing the output of the mines for the first six months of this year set a new high record in physical volume. The estimated output total crosses through the two million ounce level, being 2,208,475 fine ounces for the six months as compared with 1,973,251 in the like period of 1937, an increase of over 235,000 ounces, and exâ€" ceeds the showings of all other first half years, including in 1936, 1,7 7,509 ozs.; in 1935, 1,519,927 ozs.; in 1934, 1,437,349 ozs.; in 1933, 1,463,734 ozs.; in 1932, 1,501,230 ozs.; in 1931, 1,2373,001 ozs.; in 1930, 979717 ozs., and in 1929, 941,526 For the half year the value of Canâ€" ada‘s gold output taking gold at $35 cunce, was almost $77,300,000, by far the highest value attaching to Canâ€" ada‘s output in any like period, and comparing with just over $69,000,000 in the same interval last year. Thus Canâ€" ada in 1938, is producing gold at a rate well in excess of $155,000,000 per annum, as rccent months have been showing increases as compared with those imâ€" mediately preceding, this reflecting the rising velocity of the Canadian gold mining industry as a whole. On a daily basis in June gold reâ€" covery averaged 12,800 ozs., valued at $448,000 or a rate of nearly $161,300,000 per annum on the basis of a 360â€"day year. In June output was estimated at 384,000 ozs., against 381,089 ozs. in May, 368,439 ozs. in April, 376,023 ozs. in March, 340,836 ozs. in February and 361,086 ozs. in January. For June of 1937 output 344,895 ozs., which comparâ€" ed with 316,670 ozs. in June, 1936; 286,â€" 093 ozs. in the same month of 1935, and 240,279 ozs. in June, 1934.

Drunken Indian in Dance on Freight Car Trainmen have Unpleasant Thrill with Man on Top of Cars. He had Ticket. Sudbury, Aug. 10.â€"Employees in the Canadian National Railways yards at Capreol got a taste of the morbid thrill which held crowds in suspension for 11 hours recently in New York before John Ward took his leap from 17 stories in one of the world‘s most fantastlc suicides. A Mattawa Indian youth, Sam Bapâ€" tiste, narrowly escaped death Thursday night in the Canadian National Railâ€" ways yards at Capreol during an inâ€" cident which was in many ways simiâ€" lar to John Ward‘s sensational suicide in New York last month which held crowds spellbound for 11 hours. Atop Box Car But whereas Ward plunged 17 storâ€" ies to his death, after, threatening to jump from the narrow ledge of a hotel for many hours, Baptiste was brought down off the top of a box car after a terrific battle with railway employees and landed in Sudbury district police court, charged with trespassing on C. N.R. property. Baptiste, according to Henry McCann, C.N.R. policeman at Capreol climbed to the top of a box car on a moving freight train while he was in a dangerously drunk:n condition. The Indian refusâ€" ed to come down and railwaymen fearâ€" ed for his life, but had the train stopâ€" ped before he fell. He lurched and stagg:red on top of the car and several times almost toppled down between the wheels of the cars. / He was remanded until called by Magistrate Willard Cooper inâ€" Sudbury district police court Friday and launchâ€" ed on his way home to Mattawa. Stopping the train did not end the episode, however. For Baptiste still reâ€" fused to come down off his precaricus perch. Railwaymen were, at first stumped as to how to get him down. It was figured that if they chased him he might fall and seriously injure himâ€" self. Finally, an employee reached him unnoticed and then followed a wild fight, as Baptiste objected with all his strength to returning to the ground. For some time both he and, his rescuer were in great danger of falling, until the railwayman was able to subdue him with several hard blows. The Inâ€" dian was then brought to the ground.

Britain is spending £359,017,500 this year on a vast rearmament programme designed to build up a defence force which will be a match for any aggressor nation striking at her shores. It is sne of the greatest rearmament proâ€" grammes the world has ever seen and embraces the army, navy and air force. The rearmament programme is so vast and comprehensive it almost begâ€" gars description. For instance, the naval tonnage bseing built on January 1, 1935, was 139,345, and on January 1, 1938, 547,014. There are 118 naval ships ‘being tiuilt in Britain today, the biggest peaceâ€"time programms in world history. In May, 1935, Britain had 844 firstâ€" line aircraft. Today she has more than 2,000 and is aiming at 2,850 by 1940 in addition to vast undisclosed reserve strength. The programms has involved far more than can be shown in a few figures. During the years of Britain‘s disarmament, her industry was engaged only in peaceful production. When rearmament started, factories were not equipped to turn out large quantities of guns, tanks, ‘planes and ammuniâ€" tion. The industrial side of the proâ€" gramme demanded intensive organizaâ€" tion with subsidies to manufacturers, Government purchases of tools, maâ€" chines and loans to permit plant exâ€" pansion. Shadow factories have been tuiltâ€"plants owned and equipped by the State but operated under private management. The army is being strengthened and mechanized with the stress on coastal and antiâ€"aircraft defence. In addition to all this, elaborate plans have been drawn to protect the civilian population in air raids because the most likely attack is by air, probâ€" ably without a declaration of war. Gas masks are being distributed, fire deâ€" partments and the Red Cross strengthâ€" ened by civilian corps. A whole new branch has been added to the home department to organize the civilian population in air raids, people have been told where to go and what to do when enemy sky raiders appear. Britain is throwing all her might inâ€" to rearmament, finances and inâ€" dustry. It‘s the world‘s greatest gamâ€" ble for an idealâ€"the purchase by one nation of peace for the world.
