A good many years ago when this friend was young and ambitious he came to Cobalt and startâ€" ed about as wild a wildâ€"cat proposition as had ever been launched. Just when he got it going nicely he hit silver, and he had to sell out at a good price to a mining company because he didn‘t know anything about mining except how to mine the public. Later he started what seemed to be a lead mine. At that time there was a good market for lead, but the ore turned to silver. This was a great disappointment. He got a copper prospect during the war when copper was high, but the copper disappointed him by changing to gold. These discouragements finally cured him of mining. He left the country. The last thing heard of him was that he had been unlucky again. He had been drilling for salt and hit oil."â€" Northern Miner.

Rev. H. F. Cocks, chairman of the committee made the report. The opinion‘ was expressed that the boys concerned might have "the idea that we do not look upon them in the same light as we do our own children and that he is something akin to an outcast. It was further suggested that boys selected in the future should be from families from which the father has been removed by death, inasmuch as this would give greater opportunity for service.

Net Profit Before Depreciation .......$1,900,000 ...$1,800,363 Mcintyre started production, modestâ€" ly, in 1912, and has been producing on a substantial scale since 1916. Year by year advance has been made. Outâ€" put has doubled since 1923. Some think of big gold mines reaching their peak in ten years. That McIntyre has not yet reached its peak, and may not for 20 years from 1912, gives a sign of the character of the proposition and its probable longevity. It must not be thought that no deâ€" velopment of ore has been carried on from No. 11 shaft, On certain levels above the 3.875 the opening up of the orebodies has been vigorously pushed, and while the full blocking out of ore may not yet have resulted, there have been diclosures which may be translatâ€" ed into quite optimistic remarks in the report and at the annual meeting in June. Ore reserves will show a few million dollars‘ increase over the $15,â€" 300,000 of $8.35 ore of a year ago. The internal economy of the mine and mill has become a model. As is wellâ€"known, McIntyre‘s greatâ€" est task, one which the company has been engaged on for more than three years, has been the getting down to the depth of 4,000 feet, necessitating the sinking of a new and large shaft, and carrying out of other timeâ€"taking development work. SUGG Compared, estimated results Intyre Mine last year were: Discussion of the report was postâ€" soned until a future date when it was imnnounced that international headâ€" With net earnings of $2.38 a share, and dividends of $1.00 a share naturalâ€" ly, regardless of bookkeeping writeâ€" offs, there must have been considerâ€" able improvement in the company‘s cash position. Beyond outlays for new machinery, and some modes} prosâ€" pecting and outside exploration work, the bulk of the remaining cash was piled on to surplus. McIntyre‘s net cash assets, $2,048,000 a year ago, are now in the neighborhood of $2,800,000. The net cash, largelyw invested in govâ€" ernment bonds, is equal to approxiâ€" mately $3.50 a share. | The net, before depreciation writeâ€" offs, was equal to $2.38 a share. Diviâ€" dends were $1.00 per share. As plant depreciation _ reserves, through a policy of big yearly allowâ€" ances, stood at $3,022,269, against a bock item for plant of $3,499,107, and as additions during the year were not as large as formerly, the allowance for depreciation may not be large. On the other hand, the directors may decide to take advantage of the company‘s prosperous condition and write the plant down to a dollar. Another item which may receive some drastic marking down is the Blue Diamond and Canadian Coal FPields inâ€" vestment, which stood on the books a year ago at $895,000. The Canadian Coal Filds holdings are slowly apâ€" proaching real value, with the developâ€" ment of railway facilities toward their undoubtedly large deposits. A fair sum could remain on the books for these.. The Blue Diamond operation has deâ€". monstrated that even shrewd men cannot always be right in mining. However, the cause is not utterly lost; there is still hope for Blue Diamond. Production advanced to $4,200,000, an increase of over $200,000, and net proâ€" fits, before depreciation, rose to $1,900,â€" 000, up $100,000. McIntyreâ€"Porcupine Mines closed its fiscal year at March 31, and while the annual report, now in course of writâ€" ing, will not be available for a month, the Northern Miner is able to prepare estimates which show that in every department this solid and substantial gold mining operation established new records.

The response to these requests has so far been very good, the railway officials lending every help in this diâ€" {rection. In view of the fact that your paper serves a district well supplied with big game, and doubtless with its quota of wolves as well, it would be much appreciated if you could send | the undersigned reports of any such destruction by wolves that your readâ€" [ers, etc., may have reported. If you |have any photographs that you could lend us, they would likewise be very helpful, and much appreciated. We lwould include such data and photoâ€" graphs with those we already have to : be submitted to the Government when our deputation waits on them shortly after May first. We will be glad, naâ€" | turally, to give your paper full credit for any helpful coâ€"operation thus givenl us. As our deputaton goes to Toronto lshortly after May first, it would be necessary for us to receive such data by that date. Thanking you for any valuable coâ€"operation you may be able !to extend to us in this connection, I am yours very truly, Chief Constable Draper, of Toronto, has no lazy idea that foreigners should be allowed to do or say anything they like from carrying guns to trampling on the Union Jack or carrying on acâ€" tive seditious talk and action. He thinks foreigners should play the game or be booted out, which seems like common sense. Foreigners who come to Canada from Southern European countries, take out allegiance papers and then, under the cloak of naturalâ€" ised Canadians, seek to stir up strife, and defy constituted authority, should be deported to their home land, Chief Constable Draper, head of the Toronto police force stated last week in a conâ€" ference with the press. Chief Draper stated it was his earnest desire to get legislation passed to deport foreigners breaking the laws. ‘‘These characters are a menace to our country," he said. "They come here from different countries with difâ€" ferent ideas, thinking they can run this country and defy constituted authâ€" ority. They are going around in an underhand way trying to stir up strife and I hope all good citizens will assist in checking them." Chief Draper made it plain that there was no objection to organized labour holding meetings and that there was no desire to interfere with free speech or decent discussion, but that the perverted aliens trying to underâ€" mine religion and British institutions | should not be allowed free sway. There will be a general agreement with Chief Draper among thoughtful people. Itl surely is foolish for this country to! allow imported outfits who have made their own country unliveable to do as much for this land. If they don‘t like the ways of this country they can move elsewhere, rather than asking the milâ€" lions of British Canadians to get out or suffer. Sheâ€"Did I ever show you the place where I hurt my hip? M. U. BATES. P.S.â€"We would also appreciate an expression of opinion from your paper on the question of the wolf menace. TORONTO POLICE CHIEF WOULD DEPORT AGITATORS Dear Sir:â€"At a meeting of our asâ€" sociation held in North Bay a few days ago, a deputation was appointed to wait on the government with certain reâ€" commendations respecting an increase in our wolf bounty. Doubtless, it is needless for me to tell you how serious a problem the wolves have become in the past few years. In this section the red deer are almost extinct, and the wolves are now harassing the moose, and no doubt take a good toll of them each year while they are still too young and too weak to protect themselves. It is my opinion that, if the wolves are allowed to continue unchecked, in a very few more years both our deer and our moose will be a thing of the past. assured The Advance that this will be done very wholeheartedly.

GATHERING SPECIFIG DATA IN REGARD T0 WOLF MENAGE Metagama, via Cartier, N. Ont., April 24th, 1929 | mation received this week by H. E. Mcâ€" lKee, Cobalt lawyer, who acted for the hardware company. The amount involved is approximateâ€" ly $6,000, and is for goods supplied to the mining concern, which went into liquidation some time ago. Defenâ€" dants fdisputed the action on a numâ€" ber of grounds, arguing that is was not a continuing account, that the action lay against the official receiver under the bankruptcy proceedings, and that the goods sold were not subject to a ! lien. When the case was brought before Judge Hartman at Haileybury, judgâ€" ment was given for the amount claimâ€" ed but the defendants appealed the decision and carried the legal battle to Osgoode Hall. The appeal was heard by the First Divisional Court, and judgment upholding Judge Hartman has now been rendered. The decision of Judge Hartman in favour of the plaintiff in the Mechanâ€" ies Lien action brought by the George Taylor Hardware Co. against the Canaâ€" dian Associated Goldfields, Ltd., Larder Lake, has been upheld by the Court of Appeal at Toronto, according to inforâ€" Sub Team:â€"K.
