You will note here the fact that width of stopes a direct factor of ore grade and also uhat for the two widths we have exâ€" tracted namely thirtyâ€"eight feet and thirty feet, the devéelopment sampling prior to ore extraction indicated‘in each case slightly less gold per ton than we to be, for the present at least. any nezsesâ€"ity for the consideration of the reâ€"organizing of the company‘s finanâ€" cial structure. "It is cur hope that the excollent results secured by Mr. Young will continue, thereby solving all our financial problems," states an official statement issued. Mr. Young‘s report is as follows: "Our mine grade 0# ore for month of Octcber, 1930, was $4.16 per ton; Novâ€" ember, $4.50 per ton, and December, $5.20 per ton. Recovery for each month was about 5 per cent. less than the above figures, You will note by this that the trend of ore grade since i December, there da be, for the present ) slightly less gold per ton than we obtaining by milling."

All other offices were also fillec by acclamation. The defendant company also claimed however, that the seizure never had been completed because the plaintiff, Nadal, had refused to give up the keys of the car. The appeal came before the Appellate Division at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, last week, J; F. Mahon repreâ€" senting .the apmpellant, and James Cowan appearing on behalf of Nadal. Canadian Acceptance Limited claimâ€" ed the car had been sold to Lambroff by Jvy and Carter, dealers, who had reâ€" ceived $400 in cash on the purchase price of $900. < The balance was secured by a conditional sales agreement and lien note, and these were purchased by Canadian Acceptance Limited. The seizure was alleged to have been made under the authority of those docuâ€" ments, according to evidence given in court. Osgoode Hall Dismisses Hearst Motor Car Case The appeal taken by the defendants in an action disposed of before Judge Caron in district court at Cochrane last September, and involving an argument overâ€"a motor car, has been dismissed by the Appellate Division at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, His Honour‘s decision in the case being upheld, with costs. The parties involved are Ubalda Nadal, a taxi driver of the Hearst district, and the Canadian Acceptance Limited and Robert Sharp, bailiff at Hearst. Nadal sued the other parties, claimâ€" ing $900 damages for conversion and $500 for loss of profits, Judge Caron dismissed the action as against the bailiff and gave judgment for plainâ€" tif against the Canadian Acceptance Limited for $900 and costs. Nadal, it was shown in evidence, had bought a car from Leo Lambroff, and Sharp, actâ€" ing as bailiff, subsequently seized the machine for the other defendants.

While there were some classes in which the exhibits were not as large as they should have been and as they were in some previous years, the show generâ€" ally was a notable success and all who attended it were more than pleased and interested. As one visitor said, it was an education in itself to spend an hour or two at the Porcupine Poultry and Pet Stock Show. It would appear that special praise is due those in charge for the efficiency with which the event was handled in so many ways, and for this the officers are to be particularly commended. One point to which this commendation may especially apply is the fact that shortly after the show the full prize list was available and so can be printed in full in this issue.

The Northern Ontario bush is gloriâ€" cus in ordinary summer and fall weaâ€" ther. The prospector‘s life, even allowâ€" ing for the "flies," is a good one. The glamour of his quest rarely leaves him, and the humdrum task of living is greatly relieved by the nature of the ‘the mosquitces cropped up again. In experience of this oldâ€"timer such a performance was unique. Snow is usuâ€" ally the signal for the disaprearance of the bush pests. |__A wet summer is the worst handicap ‘a prospector can encounter, The Northâ€" Ie“n Miner comments. The ordinary ,rain storm or wet day means nothing to kim, but continuous rain, day after day, makes the following of an exploraâ€" tion programme an impossibility. The |tentâ€"bound man in the bush has plenty Iof grounds for grousing. His clothes all get wet, his food mildews, his boots ,rot, the firewood refuses to burn, his aprhtite for the strong bush fare wanes. ]h'i._s reading matter runs out, éven his boabacco fails to burn right. In desperâ€" ation he strikes out time and again inâ€" to th2 bush, only to return sodden to ,the bones. If he strikes a likely lookâ€" ing ocutcrop he cannot dig more than a foot or so until water fills his trench. Mud hampers his every movement. Enforced idleness is a hardship on an active man. If he were living idly at home he would at least have the diverâ€" sions c¢f town life and cronies to grouse with. But in the bush he is thrown back upon his own or his partner‘s company, and in such a situation there is room for plenty of dissatisfaction and trouble. The year 1930 was not exactiy an ideal cne for prospectors, so far as the weather was concerned in this North Land. The amount of rain was not in kesping with what suits the prospector. Pete McDopough, organizer of the Sourdouzh Syndicate, which has claim holdings both north and south of the Ashleyâ€"Garvey discovery in Matacheâ€" wan, recently told The Northern Miner that the 1930 ptrospecting season was cne of the most trying he had ever exâ€" perisnced. He said that it rained alâ€" most contifuously all summer, and that the mosquitoes and blackflies were banâ€" ner crops. In October there was a snowfall which later disanpeared and Prospecting Season of 1930 a Very Trying One "The 1931 Pontiac ... Isnt it a GENERAL MOTORS "SALADA" You will find a larger car, with graceful lines that sweep and flow, and with more spacious Fisher Bodies. A new Vâ€"shaped radiator with inâ€"built, chromiumâ€"plated screen presents an unusually attractive and modern front view. Mechanically, the new Pontiac is much improved. ‘There are over 40 points of rubber insulation to smother noise and cushion shocks. There is a new air silencer. The frame has been greatly strengthened. Proven elements such as the harmonic balancer, the crossâ€"flow radiator and Lovejoy shock absorbers are continued. Five wire wheels are standard equipment at no extra cost on all regular models. You are cordially invited to see the new Pontiac and to drive it. Purchase this fine car on time payments through GMAC. Protect yourself with the General Motors Owner Service Policy. PE.20 General Motors announces the new 1931 Pontiac, at the lowest prices at which Pontiac has ever been introduced. Such delicacy of flavour is not found in other teas ‘Fresh from the gardens‘ fine car, a modern car, a great value disappeared and Hami.lion Spectator:â€"A Montreal professor announces that an automobile horn has 50,000,000 times more noise than is absolutely necessary. He must have an attractive marriageable daughâ€" ter, suggests the Brantford Expositor. On investigation by the department, it is stated, it was fcund, in many cases, the rats had been purchased by the farms from trappers and other outside sources of supply at low prices and resold at much higher figures. Numerous complaints during the past year or two have reached the departâ€" ment, it is said, especially with regard to muskrats. In this connection, it is stated rat pairs purchased from differâ€" ent farms at high prices commanded by farmâ€"raised sicck were not the breeding animals they were rerisesen:;â€" ed to be. Under the new regulations a permit will have to be secured from the deâ€" partment before a furâ€"bearing animal may be purchased from many source other than a licensed fur farm or fur dealer. The fee for a fur farm license remains at $5 for each 50 acres or fracâ€" tion thereof. New regulations, designed to give the Government a check on the buying and selling of furâ€"bearing animals were anâ€" nounced by the Department of Game and Fisheries at Toronto this week. Back of it all is the chance of real find, leading to excitement of a staking rush, the optioning of claims, the reâ€" ward of effort and the pirestige of disâ€" covery. Whatever the reason, men learn to love the bush life. They beâ€" come real addicts, once properly inoâ€" culated with the prospecting germ. Few make fortunes but all have an inâ€" teresting time. PERMIT NOW NECESSARY. TO SELL FURâ€"BEARING ANIMALS work. â€" Travelling the bush, paddling the streams and lakes with an eve eternally peeled for formation and veins, doing the odd spot of fishingâ€"or hunting, cooking his meals with a real bush appetite to encourage celerity, sitâ€" ting arcund the supper fire and retiring early to bed, the experienced prosp>ctor rarely complains of his lot. An occasâ€" cnal bush fire, the rare visitor, the periodical trip to his supply base, for food and mail, break the monotony and put a premium on solitude.
