Such was disclosed yesterday when\ Dr. J. A. Allan, head of the department of geology at the University of Alber- ta, revealed results of analysis just completed by provincial and university officials of pitchblende ore samples taken from that area. On the basis of the samples an- alyzed Dr. Allan estimated the value of the ore at $8,600 a ton. Not only was this radium-bear- ing pitehblende to be found at Echo Bay on Great Bear Lake, but the geologist indicated it might also be located In the pre-Cam- brian shield that covers 12,000 squaré miles of Alberta, ! The ore samples, sent to the uni- versity by A, IL. Cummings, super- visory mining engineer for the Do- minion Government at Fort Smith, are practically pure pitchblende, Dr. Allan stated. They run richer in pitchblende and with less resi- due than the ores taken from the. mines in the Belgian Congo, now the cnly large-scale radium pro- GARGO OF STEEL 1S COMING INTO OSHAWA HARBOR General Motors of Canada Bringing First Cargo of This Kind Here Next Week Another mark in the history of the Oshawa harbor will be set early next week when the good ship "En. terprise" will steam into this port with the first load of steel ever con- signed to Oshawa by water. The Enterprize yesterday loaded about 300 tons of steel for General Motors of Canada, Limited, Oshawa, at the wharves of the Great Lakes Steel Corporation, Detroit, Mich She has travelled down Lake Erie and is now lying at Thorold, basgk- ing for the opening of the Welland Canal to navigation next Monday. This ship, with its Oshawa cargo, Is lying with its nose right up against the lock of the canal and expects to be the first ship to pass through the locks, eastbound, this season, Arrangements have been made for the unloading of steel at the local port. Owing to the greal weight of steel, it is difficult to handle at a harbor, but if it can be brought into Oshawa successfully it is estimated that shippers can be saved $1.75 to $2 per ton in freight rates. Four of the biggest manufac. turers im the city are watching closely this development, and if this test shipment proves success- ful, it is expected that thousands of ton of steel will be brought into this port every year.

CONANT and director of the Ontario Shore Commission, (Canadian Press Despatch) Madrid, April 15.--As King Al- fonso and members of the royal family, scattered into exile today, the leaders of the Spanish Repub- lic moved to insure the life of the new regime and to make their re- turn to Spain impossible, The prison gates at Barcelona, Valen- cla, Jaca and other -citles were {opened for thousands of political and revolutfonary prisoners, in- carceratad during the dictatorships of the last eight. years, while the crowds bolsterously celebrated the death of the monarchy and the birth of a republic. The King, accompanied by his cousin, the Infante Alfonso of Ore leans and the Duke of Miranda, boarded the cruiser Principe Al- fonso at Cartagena and sailed away before dawn into exile, probably in England, though his destination was not announced.
