mm conditions at noranda look fc very promising to mr moore a personal visit to the quebec mining areas is basis of this j- weeks article amulet situation reviewed hudson bay by l j moore noranda mines limited noranda mines limited is making steady progress in the direction of large scale production during the time since the smelter came into op eration the mine lias been ahlo to keep up with the demand for smelter feed in spite of the limited existing capacity of no 3 shaft when the writer made an inspection of noranda on march 1st excellent speed was being attained in hoisting ore tie last day of february showed a record of 1593 tons of ore hoisted in addi tion to waste rock tho smelters re quirements amount to approximately 1100 tons daily it is therefore pos bible to do a considerable amount of development work through no s shaft and continue to hoist enough ore in six working days to keep the smelter going for the entire week no 4 shaft was at a depth of about 550feet at the beginning of this month it will be equipped with u new hoist which was then on route from the atlantic seaboard within the next few days the shaft sinking work 13 ahead of schedule tho 1000- foot level will ho reached and stations cut at hundred foot intervals by sep tember a long crosscut is being driven from no 3 to no i shaft lu all probability the crosscut will reach its objective and the station cut before tho shaft is finished however a dec ision may bo made to contiuuo the shaft to a depth of 1500 feet no shaft will have a much greater hoist ing capacity than no 3 it will be no great task to handle 3000 tons of ore dally from the two shafts and to con duct an intensive campaign of mining development no 4 shaft is several hundred feet away from any known ore hut the same was said concerning tso 3 shaft when it was at the corres ponding depth there is fairly delinite assurance concerning the extension of important pre of average mine grade to a depth of 1500 feet the unknown factor is the extent and importance of ore oc currences below the 1500 foot lu a general way diamond drilling results lielow the 075foot which wire con ducted at one hundred foot intervals along the llofoot drift in ii orehody yielded gratifying results the copper content may he expected to vary at different horizons generally speak ing however the drilling downward from tho 500 foot as well as from the 975 foot level indicate bigger things for noranda than are appreciated by the general public it is not looking toe tar ahead now to visualize norandas production run ning rrom 3200 to 3500 tons daily tvith two reverberator furnaces and three converters such a production is quite definitely assured there is juo justification at present in looking ibeyond that point but it may bo re- luemberod that norajdas develop- stent has been crowded with pleasant surprises which have far outnumber- fed the disappointments the develop went work of tho next eighteen inoiulis should tell tho major part of the story when no 1 roveiberatory furnace was closed down for repairs u few veeks ago the performance of no 3 lurnuco was rather disappointing a few adjustments corrected its short comings and everything is now run- iilng smoothly the smelter has reach ed a stale of high efficiency the re- lining of no 1 furnace is proceeding ind provision has been made for the erection of a third converter which will provide enough capacity to take jcare of tho output of bctl rcverbera- tory iiiiiu in other words each fieverberatory furnace is capable of tyihiklling approximately ilou to 1300 tons ui ore daily without being crowd ed unduly three couveters work ing lo capacity can handle the entire bulpul i obviously much importance is at tached to the refinery puns of nor anda mines

member standard stock and mining exchange reason for believing that the attempt to secure further ore will oe quite as earnest as in tho- summer of 1027 when discoveries followed each other with remarkable rapidity there is a great deal of new ground to bo explor ed which holds quite as attraclivo possibilities as tho section of no 4 area which brought in additional ore over a year and a half ago the year 19- s was really an off year so far is significant developments are concerned although it was by no means negative in its consequences an effort will ho made over the next six mouths to double the present re serves of around 10000000 it is quite within the range of possibility that this will bo done tho property may not be very far from the produc tion stage particularly it coming de

disciples thclght that their lord wokld soon come in glory to fulllil the hopes of israel these hopes which had been defeated by his death were reawaken ed by the resurection but this ques tion shows how limited was the vision of these men they think only of their own nation and have no vision of the worldkingdom they fail to see that christ is the redeemer of liunkind his rule is universal v 7 it wus annul unit the dis ciples should be anxious to know about the time of the retur- oi- christ all through the new testament we see the signs of their eageiveit to look at the future this is espccally seen in the revelation but jesu did not while on eari satisfy this curiosity he would iot give ai y deliiite day or hour and hei he repeats his state ment saying that all things are in the hands of the father this expec tation was not to be abandoned but it must be purified v 8 though tlty are ot told about th mysteries of the future yet they are to receive the strength which will enable them t carry on the work that li- to then hands this strength was to consis in mental power in courage and in speia endowments for new work cir chief duty would be to go forth and bear witness to the gospel of christ while the sphere of their ministry is detined beginning at jerusalem they are to go to judrea then to samaria ant after wards to the farthest parts of the empire these fo-

the collection which was being made for the poor brtthren in jerusalem who were much persecute by the jews now paul returns the sub ject in order that he busy urge upon his friends the duty of completing this work we note now careful lie is in laying upon tlics converts the duty of viving he appeals first to the gifts of tne churches in macedonia by which we are t understud the churches at thessalonica philipi and berea and he calls this giving of money a grace of god this charity is not a severe duly nor a mere policy oi wisdom i is a real evidence of the presince of cods griee giving en riches the soul of the git and be stows the qualities which bclon to god vs 2 3 several further facts in tht macedonian situation are given olthe people thee were not rich nor were they able to give large sums but they gave beyond their ability at tention may be calcd to the widows mite her coin worthless ir the eyes ot the id pharisee was ir ie eyes of christ transformed by her love into the gold of the eternal city we must never neasure gifts by their hank value attention is also called to the joy with which the mace ion- inns gave there was no grudging spirit in their service v 5 but the most important fact was that they did not stop with the granting of money they gave them selves they recognized the truth that all their possessions and life itself were the gifts of god and they would not keep back anything it is so easy for us to think that it have fulfilled our religious duty oi givine when we have contributed onetenth hut all life is meant to be ai offering we arc to present our bodies a living sacrifice v 0 paul replied much upon h helpers and titus had an honorable place among these he had begun the work some time before and he is now commissioned to complete it v 7 three motives are now men tioned to stir up their henits i ho appeals to their own past record which is full of excellent achievement they excel in fnith and knowledge and in love for paul let them now add this grace also to their character it is so noble a quality v 8 2 paul uses again the ex ample of other churches t stimulate the corinthians he would not use arthority nor lay down nnv order which they must obey he rather would use hie persuasive method of emulation v tnp most inspirinj- motive is hnst himself he came to our world surrendering all the wealth of the skies and ho gave himself for us we have been bought by the price of christs death and therefore we be long to him and all we have should he his thus- the appeal to sacrificial stewardship reaches its noblest ex
