Thursday, Jan. 16th, 1930 Stock Market Losses Two Hundred Years Ago It is always supposed to be good coinâ€" fort to tell people about worse troubles that somebody else has or has had. On this count, some of the folks who lost money in the recent stock market convulsions may be interested to read of a worse financial disaster, even though it was more than 200 years Aago. The story is told in a paragraph in The Huntingdon Gleaner last week as folâ€" lows :â€" "An estimate was made in London, England, the other day and thus we learn that it is estimated the people in the Old Country lost $250,000,000 by the stock market collapse in New York last fall. This brings back to memory statement read in a book about Geoarge the First. It was in his reign that a company was formed "for monâ€" opolising. the trade with the West Inâ€" dies and South America, the reputed site of El Dorado." That was in 1711 and out of it grew the South Sea Bubâ€" ble. Shares in a few months increased rom £100 in price to £1,000. Then they collapsed to one pound sterling. The country went mad during that summer, and money was poured into all soris of schemes. One man raised a million pounds for a wheel of perpetual motion. The state of public mind is illustrated by the story a man who coolly started a company "for the purâ€" pose of carrying on an undertaking of great advantage, the project to be disâ€" closed in on month, subscribers of two guinsas to be given shares to the value of one hundred pounds." On the very afterncoon when the subscription list oepened this financier received some two thousand pounds and immediately decamped, leaving the wouldâ€"be shareâ€" holders to meditate as to whether the project tended most to their benefit or to that of the promoter."

Cz Opening Mine Rescue Stations in the North In an editoral article commenting on | the opening of the mine rescue stations' in the North, The Mail and Empire last week says:â€"*"The arrangements rthat‘ have been made for the establishment cf three mine rescue stations in Norâ€" thern Ontario will have the approval of the public throughout the province. These stations are to be located in | Timmins, Kirkland Lake and Sudbury,l each the centre of a district in which ; there are large mining enterprises. l The stations are being established | through the coâ€"operation of the Onta-! rio depariment of mines, of which Hon. Charles McCrea is the ministerial head, | th> Workmen‘s Compensation Boardi and the mining companies. The staâ€" | tions are to be equipped with apparatus | of the most modern types by the aid of which men can enter underground ; mine workings to seek others who may | | irave been overcome there by gas orI smoke. Volunteer rescue teams are . being trained to use this apparatus. | The need for such appliances as will‘ ke made available in the new stations was felt wheén fire broke out in the unâ€" | derground workings of the Hollinger mine at Timmins on February 10, 1928, and thirtyâ€"nine miners lost their lives.‘ Immediately after the fire a party of men equipped with gas masks was sent frâ€"m Toronto to Timmins as rapidly | as a spz2cial train could carry it. One of the Umted States Government‘s mine rescue ‘cars, tos. was taken as quickly as possible from Pittsburg to| the scere of the disaster. The crew of this train performed useful service in the search of the mine workings that | followed the outbreak of fire there. Its [ service was greatly appreciated by the; people of Ontario and also the neighhborâ€" ly action of the United States Governâ€" ment in allowing the rescue car to be brought to this province. The conseâ€" ; quences of the Hollinger mine fire and | the work done by the men in charge of the United States Government‘s mine! rescue car indicated that facilitiese for mine resecue work should be ma.del ; available in the mining districts of the: province for use in the event of a disâ€". aster in one or other for the mines.

In the past couple of months there have been ten or twelve cases of the disease in or near Sudbury. The smallpox outbreak in Timmins three years ago had the effect of proâ€" tecting the town against further outâ€" breaks of smallpox. The vaccination then was so general that the result has been that the town has been free from the disease ever since. With the vasâ€" cination carried out here three years ago, the doctors are agreed that Timâ€" mins is practically protected from any chance of any serious outbhreak of smallpox for some years to come. With vaccination looked upon as a complete safeguard it is to be wondered that the precaution is not made compulsory, or at least that it should be used to even greater extent than it is at the present time. § Jumbo Peas aster, recommended in his report that rescue stations be established in the Timmins, Kirkland Lake and Sudbury mining areas. Upcen this recommendaâ€" tion the Ontario Government, ths Workmen‘s Compensation Board. and the mining companies are acting. They are furnishing the means whereâ€" by, in the event of a mine disaster, the effort to save the lives of men in the mine‘s underground workings may be undertaken promptly, as it ought to be. They recognize that mining has beâ€" come one of the important industries of the province, that the mining inâ€" dustry is expanding and that, inssfar as is possible, the lives of men employâ€" ed in that industry should be proteciâ€" ed from the dangers to which they are exposed in the course of their labours. They realize, too, that it is better from all points of view to spend money to sifeguard the lives of workers than to pay it out in compensation to the deâ€" pendents of those workers."

The following article by Ernest A. Mcore in Canadian Forest and Outâ€" doors should be of special interest:â€"â€" Canada is a land of tremendous size whers the fast delivery of mailâ€"one of th> most important factors in business â€"has been a goal towards which our government has always had to strugâ€" gle against the hhandicap of distance. After the stage coach method of carâ€" rying mail had speeded up the delivery of business letters, the completion of our transcontinental railways placed the service on a fast schedule that was hith2srto unheard of. <~Letters from Montreal and Toronto reached Winniâ€" peg in two days‘ time and the Pacific Ccast two days later. Oldâ€"timers in the West, accustomed to waiting weeks focr their Eastern mail, thought they were living in a speedy world indeed. And row comes the aeroplane to inâ€" crease the speed of mail delivery just as remarkably as did the transcontinâ€" ental railroads back in the 80‘s. Thanks to our wideawake postal deâ€" partment at Ottawa, Canadian business is now securing the benefit of aeroplane transportation for its important letâ€" ters and other business documents. Regular air mail services are now beâ€" ing operated over thcusands of miles of Canadian territory, both in the East and West, as can be seen from the acâ€" companying mip. In the Maritime Provinces daily trips each way are made from Moncton to Charlottetown during the closed season of navigation. while weekly round trips are also made from Mconcton to the Magdalen Islands. Two round trips are made each week during the closed season of navigation from Quebec City aloniz the north shore of the St. Lawrence River to Seven Isâ€" lands and Anticosti Island, thus proâ€" vidingz regular air mail service to this sparselyâ€"settled territory that formerly was dependent on dog teams in the winter and river boats in the summer for its mail. On the south side of the St. Lawrence River, Canada‘s pioneer air mail route extends from Rimouski to Quebec, where it crosses the river and heads to Montreal. Along this route there speeds, twice each week during the open season of navigation, the mail to and from the transatlantic mail steamers, thus quickening delivery of this mail by many hours. _ Here is how air mail works out, in so far as incoming Britisth mail is conâ€" cerned: A plane picks up air mail from the steamer at Rimouski and. six hours befare the ship reaches Quebec City, in <ome cases the mnvail is being delivered in Toronto. Montreal has received its mail from the same steamer three h>urs before. An hour after the ordinâ€" ary mail has been unloaded from the steemer at Quebec City a pilot reaches Chicago with its mir mail from the samse boat. This gives one an idea of the way aeroplanes eat up distance. It also impresses one with the tremenâ€" aviation Continuing to outline the Canadian air mail routes, weekly trips are made each way between Ottawa and Monâ€" trtal; while the most important route in the Dominion between Montreal and Tcronto, since it connects Canaâ€" da‘s two largest cities, is covered daily, except Sunday, each way throughout ‘h2 year. At the Quesn City the air trail branches, one route leading across Lake Ontar‘o to Buffalo and the other going to Windsor and Detroit. Both those routes connect up with regular U.S. air mail systems. Development of European sources of newsprint, with a view to obtaining cheaper paper than can be secured in Canada or the United States, is being fconsidered by the American Newsprint Publishers‘ Association. According to the current issue of Editor and Pubâ€" lisher, a plan for placing European newsprint on the market at New YÂ¥ ork by increasing the capacity of mills and improving the quality of paper producâ€" ed was presented at a recent meeting in the New York headquarters of the association. In the mining areas of Northwestern Ontario and Northern Manitoba ther2 are several air mail routes operated by government under contract with inâ€" dependent commercial aviatiâ€"n comâ€" panies. One of such routés extends from Sioux Lookout north to> Gold Pings Red Lake an1 Jackstnâ€"Manisn property. Ansther runs from Lac du Ponnet to Wadhops and Bissett, while a third runs north from Cranberry Portage to Schist Lake and Kississing. The mail pilots on these northern routes have dons> much to prove the value of air mail through rough hinteorâ€" land that would otherwise be only acâ€" cessible by canos or dog team. Biâ€" weekly mail service is provided the year round in these mining areas. From Winnipeg there starts another network of air mail trails leading westâ€" ward to Regina, and from there to Moose Jaw, Calgary and on the southern route, and to Saskatzon, North Battleford and Edmontcn, on the north. Air mail from Eastorn Canada has reached Winnipeg via Chicago and Minneapolis. new air mail service between Toronto and Windsor is ten miles per hour fastâ€" er than any similar service in the world. Over this route the first night mail fyâ€" ing in Canada will be done., Air mail service in Canada dces not lag behind that of other nations, Prozcf of this is shown by the fact that the HOPE TO SECURE EUROPEAN , NEWSPRINT. AT CHEAP RATE possibilit.ies opened to business by Diamond Drill Contract Let by Ridgedome Minc According to information given out this week Ridgedome Mines, Limited, have awarded a contract for diamond drilling to the Ryan Drilling Company cf Timmins, work to be started imâ€" mediately. The Ridgedome property is in Ogden township, about five miles west of Timmins and a short distance from the Hayden Gold Mine where good results have been reported from recent development work. Last fall some development work was done, a shaft having been sunk to a depth of 20) fset cn the most important break on the property. j Resumption of work by Ridgedome in the Porcupine field follows an anâ€" nouncement that officers of the Gold Quill Mines, Limited, and Quartz Lake Mines, Limited, had surrendered their charters and their properties have been transferred _ to Ridgedome _ Mines, Limited, shareholders of these comâ€" panies having besn notiued to send in their stock to the Crown Trust Comâ€" pany, Montreal, to be exchanged for Ridgedome stock in accordance with arrangements ratified at a special genâ€" eral meetinz of shareholders. The old Goid Quill property, on which work is now being resumed, has 17 claims, comprising a total of 575 acres. The Quartz Lake property is in Fripp township, south of the producing section. PUBLIC ENQUIRY TO BE MADE INTO SUDBURY FIRES Public inquiry into the circumstances cf the last two major fires in Sudbury cne at the warehouse of D. L. McKinâ€" non and Sons, and the other at Gimâ€" poli‘s cafe, has been ordered by the fire marshal‘s office, at Toronto. The date of the inquiry has not been set but Investigator E. Jordan, of th> fire marshal‘s depariment, believes i: will be held the latter part of this month. Meanwhile, Investigator Jordan has resumed his â€"preliminary inquiry, inâ€" terrupted when he was called from Sudbury a week before Christmas and ordered to the Chatham fire. Jordan is preparing his evidence for submisâ€" sion at the inquiry. The fire marshal or one of his aides will preside. The McKinnon fire occurred in Noâ€" vember with an estimated damage of $40,000. The Gimpoli fire, the second most serious last year, was on the morning of Dec. 3. Damage was set at $30,000.

There is a difference of opinion in regard to the desirability of the move. To settle this part of the matter Mayor Fenton is unâ€" gerstood to favour a conference beâ€" tween the council and the business men. It will be remembered that some years ago there were people in Timmins who were anxious to see this town made into a city. In response to their agiâ€" tation, however, it was pointed out that Timmins would receive little other benefit from the change to a city than the supposed added prestige that would come from being a city. At the same time the disadvantages were by no means in any doubt. There are several lines in which the change to city status would mean additional financial burâ€" dens for the town. sSUDBURY CONSIDERING IDEA OF BECOMING CITY MUCH WORK DONE AT THE THOMPSONâ€"CADILLAC MINE A report sent out over the signatures of the officers and directors of the Thompsonâ€"Cadillac Mines, Ltd., states that the work completed during the last three months included a complete survey of the property, geological pians and assay plans of Nos. 1 and 2 shaft workings. Over 2,000 assays were made and from this work it is estimatâ€" ed the company has 35,000 tons of inâ€" dicated ore having a minimum average of $8 per ton in gold, or $280,000. . If the several known ore shoots above ths 300â€"foot level prove up they will add upwards of 30,000 tons to indicated reâ€" serves, without allowing for increased widths or values. Work carried out to date indicate that the No. 2, or north vein, is of more promise than the No. 1. Both veins have besn opened up by drifting. A marked improvement in mine conditions and prospects at the Thompson Cadillac mines is reported by officials While ample treasury stock is available for financing, general conditions are considered unfavourable and the company is proceeding slowly during the present period. During the next three months drifting, mapping3 and sampling will be carried out at the 600â€"f0o% level and indications are that wider ore bodies with consistent values will be found on this level. The surâ€" face geology of the property has beer. investigated by L. V. Bell of the Quebec geological survey and it has been deâ€" finitely established the porphyries are intrusives and of deepâ€"seated origin. This more or less confirms the belief that the goldâ€"bearing rocks continue to depth. Kapuskasinz Northern Tribunsâ€""A man was sentenced last week for stea‘!â€" ing half a ton of scrap iron.
