Lack of technical books for all branches of the services is serious. The Canadian Legion is doing fine work with its study courses, and with purâ€" chase of nonâ€"fiction books, but they need help.

Programime For 1941 ' Briefly Mr. Wright outlined the Preston East Dome‘s programme for 1941. An objective had been set of milling 200,000 tons of ore from about 230,000 tons hoisted, representins an average rate of 550 tons per day after sorting out 80 tons of waste from 630 tons per day hoisted. Grade would be more difficult to determine but a safe calculation would be oneâ€"quarter ounce, which would be increased 10% by the addition of high grade, bringing heads to around .3 oz. On the above tonâ€" nage this figures out to about $200,000 a month, or $2,400.000 for the entire year, The high grade from the sixth and fifth levels has in the main, been mined out. There is still some to come but it will not be the heavy sweetener it has been in the past. Six to eisht stopinz areas on second, third and fifth levels are at present idle as they are too low for the proposeq average. The president explainsd that in a mine as young as Preston, it is neither feasible nor possible to build up the _ ore reserves and at the same time maintain production and expand the mine to what its engineers believe to be its ultimate destiny. Because of the engineering hazards attached to of indicated ore, "which we do not care to introduce after the stock has attained an investment staâ€" tus," only the facts of the ore reâ€" vealed in diamond drilling have been given below the 675â€"ft. level. This ore, when opened up by lateral work, might well ~double, triple or even the present ore resorves, he pointed out. menal No. U717 hole, which had given a combined length of 111 ft. of .26 oz. cut grade at that lovel. Assays already obtained from the new hole had given 90 ft. of ore, including 12 ft. of .6 oz., 17 ft. of .51 oz., and 15 ft. of .59 oz. Shareholders approved a byâ€"law to move the head office from Toronto io South Porcupine. . Administrative ofâ€" ficss will be retained in Toronto. A resolution of appreciation of the work of President Wright, the directors and Mine Manager James, was also warmiy appauded and adopted. A gratifying feature, from shareâ€" holders‘ point of view, was the assurâ€" ance that should another high grade oreshoot be developed it was not the intention of the management to "sit and l00k at it."" It would be mineg as quickly and economically as possible. Mine Manager V. A. James announcâ€" ed that drill hole Uâ€"713, from the !11th level station, now in process of drillâ€" inz, had already yielded sufficient core to confirm the results of the phenoâ€" As already shown by The Northern Miner it will be several montlhis before development of the neéew lovels ean reach its full stride, pending the inâ€" stallation of a new large hoist. The last four or five months of 1941 shovld see real intensification of development on these levels. As stated by the preâ€" sident, Douglas G. H. Wright, while engineering hazards made it undesirâ€" able to include ore indicated in disaâ€" mond drilling below the 675â€"{t. level in ore reserves, the years developments could doubl!l«, triple or quadruple the present estimate.
