North Bay Nugget:â€"With 58 survey and exploratory parties now at work throughout the country, more of Canaâ€" da‘s wealth is certain to be loâ€" cated in the course of the year. Mr. Wilmot has had wide experience in United States, Canada, Mexico and Philippine Islands. For many years he was manager at Butte, Montana, for Geéeneral Development Co., one of the moast active concerns of its kind in the United States under direction of the Lewisohns. It was also upon his reâ€" commendations that the Lorne Mine was financed in Toronto ten years ago and which, under the name of Braâ€" lorne, has since paid over $3.000.000 in dividends and produced well over $11,â€" 000,000. He has been a frequent visitor to Toronto in his professional capacity for the past fifteen years, reporting upon mines of Ontario and Quebec, and will now make this city his headquarâ€" ters. Plans of the company, endorsed by Mr. Wilmot, include continuation of the drifts both ways at both levels, with croscutlts at intervals of 100 feet to the hanging wall of the zone. It is noticeable, he says, that diaâ€" mond drill results do not always tally with underground exposures. For inâ€" stance, drill hole No. 34, put down from surface at an angle of 45 degrees, and through which the crosscut on the 125â€" fo0Oot level passed, did not show values of over $1.40 per ton and yet the crossâ€" cut itself immediately in that vicinity showed values quot>d above and across 27 feet. In Mr. Wilmot‘s opinion, this confirms the presence of high values indicated by drilling results, both east and west, at present and lower horiâ€" Zzons. At a point 500 or 600 feet rast of this section of the mine, another grill hole from surface cut 13 feet of core length which ran $119 gold per ton at depth of around 300 feet, provâ€" ing that high grade sections occur throughout the length of the area so far d@rilled. Drifts are being run northeasterly and southwesterly on both levels along the footwall of the zone, and Mr. Wilâ€" mot says thos> proceeding southwesterâ€" ly both are showing increased minerâ€" alization as work proceeds. There are definite indications, he says, that ore shoots rake westerly and therefore reasonable assurance that both headâ€" ings will disclose commercial values over good widths. Geological condiâ€" tions on the lower level show mark>d improvement over those on the 12% level, and Mr. Wilmot expects the imâ€" provement to continue as greater depth is reached. On the 250â€"foot level crosscut has , also passed through the zone, entering | it at 29 feet less distance from the shaft than the crosscut on the 125 . level, proving dip of the zone to the‘ scluth, or toward the shaft, which is | a few hundred feet south of the main highway from Kirkland Lake to Norâ€"! anda. Tt proved to be 60 feet wide at this horizon, with one section of 2% fé?t running $9.85 per ton, and the balance well mineralized, but of loweri gradse. ' The crosscut on the 125â€"foot level, which entered the ore zone at about 400 feet north of the shaft, has reached the dolomite footwall, exposing 27 feet of ore averaging $7.40 per ton, with one central section three feet wide asâ€" saying $32.40 per ton. In conversation with a representative of this department of The Globe and Mail he expressed the belief that the Barberâ€"Larder property has 9 chances out of 100 of making good on a producâ€" tion basis of from 300 to 500 tons, with heads averaging from $8 to $12, when a programme of development already outlined by him has been completed to the 600â€"foot level. The ore zone is very wide, lup to as much as 100 feet in places, and contains frequent highâ€" grade sections, which will have a noâ€" ticeable effect upon general tenor of millheads. E.M., who has just returned from his first examination of the mine, after visiting Kerrâ€"Addison and other proâ€" perties of the Larder Lake section to gain general knowledge of conditions.

Mr. Conant ordered departmental solicitors to make a thorough survey |of all cases over the past six months ‘or more, and declared that this examâ€" is to issue general observations by cirâ€" culars to all magistrates and J#udicial officers," the Attorneyâ€"General deâ€" clareg.

Whether or not such a system would be popular here, at least with those who now absorb the gravy of promotion, we do not know, but we do believe with Mr. Denny that if Canada desires to préesent its mining wares in London to the best advantage, there must be a change in the present system. And we also believe that closer connection with the Heart of the Empire would be of inestimable value to the industry and to the whole of this Dominion. Attorneyâ€"General Has Plan for Review of Sentences The circulars are sent to us in supâ€" port of Mr. Denny‘s statement that all such financing in London or South Afâ€" rica is firmly underwritten oy responâ€" sible houses and most of the subscripâ€" tions received by banks, which vouch for the standing of the underwriters. Such a plan for Canada he advocated in his exhaustive report, which was preâ€" pared during his recent visit to Torâ€" onto and mines of Quebec. (From The Globe and Mail) Further to the report of Mr. George A. Denny, wellâ€"known mining engineer of South Africa, covering the Canadian mining situation in Canada from the viewpoint of one used to financing on the accepted London order and which we have interpreted in resent issuss, we have just received a letter from London, in which he encloses circulars referring to four recent offerings of new mining securities in London. Others charged with the same ofâ€" fence are Morris Boxinbauln, arrested last month in Val d‘Or, and Stanley Lukus, arrested in Kewagama, on June 1. Joseph Shapiro, arrested recently in Kirkland Lake on a similar charge, will come up for trial in Rouyn this week. Louis Brownstein is now servâ€" ing a fcourâ€"month term in Toronto.

For years Spain and Great Britain quarreled over the Falklands and on ons occasion nearly went to war, but in 1770 they finally managed Georgia, which in 1931 announced a population of 961 males and only one ":male! Remote and unattractive as they are, the Falklands have played a considerâ€" able part in the diplomatic history of Europs. Before the opening of the Panama canal the only passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean was by way of Cape Horne or the Straits of Magellan, and the zeographical position of the Falklands gave them The rough climate makes agriculture impossible, for so strong are the freâ€" quent gales that even trees will not grow there. The coarse grass serves to support the hardier breeds of sheep and cattle, and mutton, wool and hides are the principal source of wealth. The Falklands wore formerly an important centre for the whaling and sealing fleets of Europe, but as these animals have gradjually been exterminated, the whaling centre has shifted southward to the â€"lJonely Asland of: South Georgia, which politically is a part of the Falkâ€" land group. Matrimonially inclined young ladies who do not mind living on the edge of the Antarctic Circle might well consid>r the possibilities of South srifâ€"supporting people of Scotch des cent. a colony, yet since 1833 the Palklands have been a British possession and toâ€" day they are the home of 3,101 sturdy, 200 days out of the year and the land is perpetually wrapped in a fine white mist.

Sea lions are also plentiful and a fine specimen is illusâ€" trated on the 5s brown orange and blue. Deception Island is the subject of the beautiful 10s brown orange and black; and the last value in the srries, the £1 purple and black, depicts the official seal of the colony, which appropriately features a sea lion and a sailing ship. ‘ The flock of sheep on the 2%d deep blue and black reminds us that sheep raising is the principal industry of the Falklands; and the 4d violet and black depicts the upland goose, a game bird much by the islanders for its delicious meat. The 1‘%d4 deep green and black picâ€" tures an unusual monument composed of whales‘ jawhbones placed upright in the <ground. The rarse swan is the subject of the 14 carmine and black. <The 24 dull purple and black stamp shows the impressive Batâ€" tle Memorial at Stanley Harbor. This commemorates the great battle of the Falkland Islands which was fought beâ€" tween a British and a German fleet on December 8, 1914, and gave the isâ€" lands their firstâ€" worldâ€"wide fame. It resulterd in the complete destruction of the German Pacific fleet and left England in undisputed control of the ocean trade routes of the world. Possession is nine points of the law, however, and serenely ignoring Argenâ€" tina‘s claims (which many authorities say are legally well founded) Great Britain continues to hold and issue her own postage stamps for the Falkland Islands. Early this year appeared a magnificicnt new series of 11 stamps showing the portrait of King George VI together with interesting scenes from this bleak southermost colony. wound by printing a map of Argentina on a postage stamp with the Falkâ€" lands conspicuously marked as Argoonâ€" tinge territory!

In the past twenty years Canada has made remarkable strides. In 1918 gold production was but oneâ€"fifth of that of the United States and oneâ€"thirteenth of that of South Africa. By 1928 the Dominion‘s production was within 15 per cent. of the United States output and stood at about oneâ€"fifth of that of South Africa. This year Canada‘s production will be more than a third of South Africa‘s if production for the last seven months is maintained at the rate of the first five months and there appears to be every reason to expect it will be exceedâ€" ed.

(From Val d‘Or News) With increasing frequency â€" comâ€" plaints are heard that camps are being broken into and rifled of everything wqrth taking away. Thoroughâ€"going thieves remove everything from grub to doors and windows. . Prospectors and companies having camps within access of towns are finding it necessary to store their belongings where they will be protected from marauders. Th practice of leaving camps unâ€" locked, a tacit "welcome" to travellers, is appreciated by prospectors and others seeking refuge from fies and the weaâ€" ther, but to the numerous scavengers now roaming the bush it is merely an invitation to walk in and remove every- thing portable. situation suggests that maximum proâ€" duction is being nearly approached in other countries. The drop in United States output this year has been severe and is probably accounted for in large degree by decreased production in the Philippines. just under 7 per cent.
