Among those who have already se- cured claims are Coniagas Mines, Kirkland Hudson Bay (couliviled by Lake Shore), United States Smelters, Macassa, International Nickel, McVit- tie Groham and others, Several of the properties held by these compan- ies are already under active develop- ment and results of work done to date in the district cannot help bu! create' enthusiasm over the outlook. Liter ally hundreds of veins have been opened up and showings o! visible gold has become a common occur- rence. Interest Centres on Sturgeon River Area trict lies some sixteer miles north- west of the Little Long Lac. field, which has been so prominent during the last year, In this part of the fleld several properties have been un. der development for some months, and Jast winter a shipment of gold ore from surface of the Dik-Dik prop- erty was sent to the Flin Flon smel- ter in Manitoba and it is said that after all charges were paid a return of some eighty dollars per ton was obtained, Other companies in this sec: tion include the Jomac Gold Syndi- cate, Sturgeon River Exploration Syndicate, U.S. Smelters, Int, Nickel subsiduary, and Kirkland Hudson Bay (Lake Shore). In the central and wealern sec- tions of the camp Coniagas, Kirkland Hudson Bay, Oliver Severn Syndicate, McVittie Graham, the Connell inter- ests, Spring Exploration and many others are prominent with important looking strikes having been made, -. General opinion, of those who have visited the new area, is that it seems likely that this district will outshine even the spectacular Little Long Lac section before many months have passed and certainly as the situation looks at present, this does not seem The eastern section of the pew dis. to be any exaggeration, = Western farmers are aald to be rushing their wheat crop to market at an unprecedented rate, according to reports eminating from western centres, It is estimated, now, that this year's crop will exceed the 1933 one. by. some: 15,000,000" bushels and in addition the: price is about sevens teen. cents higher.

Malting barley is reported at a pre mium and present prices are over 60 cents, as compared with" about 36 cents last year, A considerable amount has been shipped to the Am. erican' market with tbe result that Canadian buyers are unusually active 1n soliciting this grade, Cash quotas tion for the best quality of malting barley is around 80 cents, BS Long Lac Adair Mines Word coming down from (nis com: panie's property continues to be of a decidedly optimistic nature and Frank Leslie, in charge of operatious; states t another new veld, running at Fiat angles to the'big number five, has. been uncovered for several hun- dred feet, First assay fram four-foot channel ran well over $7.00, Two ad. ditional assayd from the number five ran over $14.00 and $6,00, The man. agement are now considering plans for winter development, and it seems | likely -that shaft sinking will be started in the near futnre, Results of work 'to would indicate that Long Lac/ Adair] has real possibilities of bringing: in- 3 Rush To Market Wheat ; date on this property) Rail Revenues Rise The steady Increase in trafic rev- enues. of the Canadian Railways, which has continued almost steadily for over a year provides one of the bright spots in the Canadian econo: mic picture.

Sturgeon River Exploration. Syndicate Following the intentg interest which has developed through . the widespread and almost seunvational discoveries in the Sturgeon River dis. trict, announcement is mpae of the formation of the Sturgeon River Ex. ploration Syndicate for the purpose of acquiring properties and interests in other companies operafiug in the area, The Syndicate has already ob- tained a substavtial interest in one three-million gskare company with ac- reage in the heart of the area where spectacular surface showings were responsible for the present in. tense interest fn the district; has several properties under option and has others under consideiation. Recognizing the tremendous profits which accrued to pioneers jn such fields as the Little Long Lac Area, the Syndicate management feels that the same opportunity exists in On- tario's most recent prospective mine: making district, and it §s the {uten. tion of the syndicate to wholesale part of its holdings, but at the same time retain interest in the properties through holdings of securities to be issued by the operating company, The Sturgeon River Development Syndicate, which will shortly be pub- licly announced, will have us {ts pur. pose, actual tinancing and develop- ment assigned to it by the Explora- tion Syndicate, Unit uolders of the Exploration Syndicate will pasticipate on a preferred basis iu the fssue of Development Syndicate units and will also get preferred position as, it and when share companies are formed and offerings made, ' In Sturgeon River, during the past month or two, literally huadreds of veins have been reported to have been discovered, and many of trese are sald to be of a spectacular nature, Geological conditions are reported as excellent and jt seems reasonably certain that a number of new produc- ers will be added to Ontariv's stead- ily growing list, ---------- Briefs McIntyre Porcupine Mines {s report- ed to bave three drills working on pro. perty recently optioned, iu Hislop Township, with eleven holes complet. ed to date, ; Teck Hughes has reduced its divid- ends to ten cents per share quarterly, as compared with former rate of fif- teen cents per share, Lee Gold Mines has acquired hold- ings in the new Sturgeon River Area and js planning immediate develop. ment, Calgary and Edmonton Corporation income for year ending June 20th was $19,376, as compared with §16,866 for the previous fiscal year, while income in realization account was $132,477 as against $97,124 in the previous year, St. Anthony mill is now Ireating some 146 tons per day, Grods produc- tion in August was $36,300 a3 against $25,000 in July, Trafalgar Long Lac Mines has un. covered a new vein on its property in the Long Lac section, When Hollinger shares soid through $21.60 last week they touched a new high record since 1927, Profit of Beattie Gold Mines for six months to June 30, reached $122,078.00 with over $76,000 of this being earned for the second quarter, - Buys New Yacht Something. new in yachts ig being built in the 64-foot sailing. schooner now under construction at Newport Beach for Richard Arlen Paramount star.

It is with mingled feelings that we relate the story of the rise and fall, (yes, fallen already so soon) of a singer, with a future that was every bit as bright as those of public enemies Nos. 1 and 2 have proven to be. Just think back a few years to those early morning programmes emanating from New York and sponsored by a big soup manufactur- er. 1. whole hour was built around a young singer who had earned a New York, and the powers that bo, decided that he was star material and only needed the building up to put him in that class, The pro- grammes were a big success, so the next step was to give him an or- chestra of picked men and spot him at the Statler Roof in Boston. As you expected, after his first week, everyone, with the "what-it-takes" were there dancing to his music and listening to his singing. The second week though, something seemed to have gone wrong, the band was bet- ter than ever, but his voice had hit that long long trail. He would at- tempt a note, falter, hit it, then waver miserably. As the weeks pass- ed, it became apparent that his | voice was getting worse rather than improving, Needless to say, his con- tract was not renewed. N.B.C. must have dropped him completely also, for he was heard only occasionally in the two years that followed his dis: mal debut. The past week, we were listening to the very fine music of Leo Reis man's orchestra on the ciggie half- hour, when, of all things, who should we hear singing, but the very man who seemed to have missed out as far as reaching the top was concern- ed, Lou Conrad, for that is his name, is singing a song or two in an ab- solutely obscure role. It goes to prove what. Winchell says, "It's tough enough getting to the top of the ladder, but it's tougher to stay there." Just in case you wondered as to the identity of the queer assortment of names we published last week, here they are: -- Cab--\Well, that's an easy one. Le Calloway of the Hi-De-Ho school of music, ' Miff--Who answers to Mr. Mole. One of the finest trombonists sliding around these parts or any other parts, Isham--of the "keeping up with the Jones" clan. And what a band! Muzzy--We suppose that most of you said, "The guy who writes that radio column is screwy, there's no one by the name of Muzzy anywhere. But there is; Muzzy Marcolline;- the scat singer with Ted Fiorita, Fess--One of Mrs. Williams little boys, leading a hot style dance band, and finally, Oswald Nelson, known better as Ozzie. Mustn't forget to recommend the American Album of Familiar Music to those lovers of the semi-classic and light music. Virginia Rea and Frank Munn make a grand team interpolat- ing the songs.

But India is in real. ity becoming a more-and more impor. tant factor in the British Common- wealth of Nations, and thetefsre any- thing that affects its prosperity ought to be of interest to them all, The Indlan governmen has just been celebrating the completion of a great work of irrigation which mur: be add- ed to its triumphs of peace. Mother India utilizes frrigatlon as Kuropean countries employ emlgratlon--tg ald her surplus population, Instead of re. lying entirely upon the latter to re lieve her congestion, she actually pro. vides new land for her peuple within her own borders, by providing water supply for areas that could n.n possib- ly be properly cultivated as they are, The latest development in this di- rection is the Mettur dam on the Cau. very river in Madras Presidency. This vast work is second only to the huge Sukkur barrage on the londus which wag completed two years ago, It ranks in tmportance and size with the splendid works at Assouan on the Nile It is one mile long and 170 teet high, At has created a reservoir one hundred miles in circumference, from which seventy miles of main canals provide ample water supply for three hun- dred thousand acres of land which has not hitherto been under cuitivation, The total cost wag $3,000,000 and the Government expects to rea'ize six per cent upon its Investment. All the machinery and materials employed up- on the work were British, Thus it brought tg completion a dream of the eleventh century, for the Cauvery was damned then, Ilundreds of thousands of people are also assur. ed of an ample living who have hith. erto had to eke out a precarious ex. istence, dependent entirely ror their water supply upon the ratner unrel. lable monsoons, British energy and enterprise continue the great work of developing India for the Indians whe. ind Gandhi fasts or fights,-~Montreal tar, Under Anaesthetics ti There were held the other day at Dundee meetings in connection with the British Dental Assoclation, At one of them there was discustion on anaesthetics that might be used In dental surgery, Evipan was spoken of as wero also chloroform, ether, nit- rous oxide and oxygen; y ..
