Mr. Frank Lake, of the Bank of Nova Scotia staff at North Bay, is spending part of his vacation at the home of his uncle, Mr. Geo. Lake. Some people have thermos bottles in every room in the house these days, with a double supply in the kitchen. The reason for the p01.mlzl.1'ity ot‘ the bottles was a competition between two drUg stores on opposite sides at" the street. The Goldfield drug store had’been advertising the bottles- at a reduced price when the. other store opened with a special sale of the bot- tles at 39 cents each. The Goldfield drug store was determined that its price should not be outdone and so placed the price of the bottles at ‘29 cents. The other store countered with a 19 cent price, and the Goldfield price became 9 cents. The war contin- ued until the bottles were being sold at 1 cent each at the one store and given away with every dollar purchase at the other. The public had a lot of fun and regular bargains so long as the battle and the bottles lasted. 7’ DRUGGISTS STAGE WAR WITH THERMOS BOTTLES For a fourth time this season the record of the Ontario Forestry Air Service for a single day ’5 flying has been broken, this time by Pilot Alex. Harvey. On fire detection work in the Pine Ridge district, he flew 14 hours and 30 minutes in one day re- cently, starting about three o’clock in the morning. Harvey was trained in the Ontario Service, under (f‘apt. Roy Maxwell. The previous high mark was hung up ab0ut a month ago by “Bill” ’ Lyons, son of Hon.

A party of outside visitors, includâ€" ing Dr. Carmicheal and Mrs. Carmic- hael, of Detroit, and Mrs. \V. H. Maund, of North Bay, were here last week with Mr. Geo. W. Lee, chair- man of the T.

The Company’s financial position was favourably indicated in the last annual report, in which President R. ‘W. Leonard, in a statement dated March 31, 1928, at St. Catharines, Ont., in referring to the cost of mill construction, said: “ It is expected that upon completion of all construc- tion and equipment, there will remain in the Treasury on July 1, 192-8. :1 balance of approximately $100,000. which ithis expected will the sutficient to carry on operations until the mine. is in the production stage and paying its own way.” (Renfrew Mercury) An advertisement in The Lanark Era contained the announcement that at a dance‘ in that village “spirited pep" was to be in evidence. Most of us had thought“ that “pep” alone, which is an abbreviation of pepper, was the last word for vim and go and enthusiasm, but now comes “spirited pep,” which proves conclusively that we live in a very fast age. And it remains for ur’quiet little village on the Clyde river out in Lanark county Coniaurum Mines, Limited, is a con- solidation of certain propeities, in eluding the Newray, Armstrong- Booth and Goldale Group No 1. all located in Tisdale Township, Porcupine Gold Area, Northern Ontario. The Comâ€" pany was organized under Ontario laws, in August 1924. According to the last Annual Report, the capital structure consists of an authorized 1,200,000 shares with a par value of $5 each, and an authorized issue of $800,000 of six-year 7% first mort- gage bonds due January 2, 1934.’ Out of the authmizcd capital stock, it is estimated that, as of Januaiy ‘2, 1928 there were outstanding 1,076,080 shares, and out of the (111th01 119d bond issue, on the (late mentioned, it is estimated that $760,800 was out-l standing. 1 agement of Coniagas Mines, Limited, under whose sponsorship the Coniau- rum gn'aduallv has been dewloped from a prospect int( 1 producing mine.

Again they have de- monstrated their ability as mine oper- ators in bring the Coniaurum to the production stage. And, if their re- cord at the Coniagias may be accepted as a criterion of their future policies, then the interests ofihe stockholders of Coni'aurum Mines Limited, are in able bands. ‘ Sflflflffififfll DEVElflPMENI [If BflNlMIflIJM MINES -vestment in the mines. The Coniauruxn mill has been de- signed for a ated °apacit of around 500 tons a day. In the beginning, however, the Company’s schedule is understood to call for initial operâ€" ations at a rate of between 200 to 300 tons daily. This output graduâ€" ally will be stepped up to rated capaâ€" city, as mine conditions warrant, so it has been stated in recent reports. - Operating on a schedule of between 200 and 300 tons a. day, it is calcuâ€" lated that the monthly output should run at the rate of around $00,000. But, when production has been in- creased to the rated capacity of 500 tons a day, and calculating on the treatment of $7 ore, the total valua- tion of the annual output should proximate $1,250,000.

It takes into partâ€" nership those who are customers and patrons of the companies and thus en~ ables them to participate in the earn- ings which their patronage makes pos- sible. The customer becomes some- thing more than a customer: he be- comes a financial partner in the busi- ness and indentifies himself with the growt th and prosperity of the com- munity by putting his money to work at home, and in an industry engaged in providing essential community ser- vices. Customer Ownership marks a definite step forward towards steadily improving public relations between the company supplying utility services and the people served:2 and in addition provides a safe medium of invest- ment for the public and new capital for the ever increasing demands of the business.

The first goal scored by the Rees. was a dandy one. It was scored by T. Johnson and was well won. But the next two seemed to the clear offâ€"side goals, and the final one was a free kick against the Lanes’, goal-keeper. However, only twice during the game were the Lanes at all dangerous and the game in general could not be called a very good exhibition of football. Pefiple who Use Maps in Prospecting. Btu, Do Not Stop to Consider the Care Used in Making. The lithographing of maps is a craft requiring great exaetitude, and litho- graphers have many troubles. Not the least of these is with paper that- shrinks or expands though ever so slightly under varying weather eon- ditions. In Britain 's At'riean eolouy of Gold Coast all eohmr printing for maps has to cease during January when the har- mattan blows. The dry wind follow- ing- rapidly on humid eonditions causes a change in the paper of as mueh as a_ qmrterot‘ an inch in a. sheet two feet square. This makes it impossible to secure registration of the colours in their precise places on the map. Map-makingr in Canada is sub- ject to the same difficulties but in a lesser degree. Paper used in limp-making is of a. superior kind speeially made for the purpose. Most ol’ the papers used for general purposes are too porous and LANCASHIRES LOSE IN P.D.F.L.
