What is it, if not but piece of bunting? An: | old coloured rag? But yet, thousands |have shed their blood for its honour; ‘look back into history, and you shall see the struggles and sacrifices of our forefathors in securing and maintaining lour liberties. Let us firstly describe the combination of our dear flag, the oldâ€"time banners of England, Scotland and Ireland. The base of it is the cross of St. Georgse, ‘that is, the white flag with a red cross | running traversely throughout. . Then was added in 1707, the Cross of St. Andrew, the white cross diagonally |placed on the blue ground; finally in {1804, a new addition was made to the â€"| Jack, that of the Cross of St. Patrickâ€" > the red diagonal cross on a white | ground. ! _ only over these three countries lï¬utters triumphantly our Union Jack, but all over the British Empire which includes more than one fourth of the land area of the globe. This mighty empire extends from farthest north to farthest south, from farthsst east to farthest west, girdling | the globe with lands over which floats the Union Jack, our proud symbol of power, justice and freedom. Within the Empire is found every kind of scenery, every variety of climate, every type of plant, every kind of useâ€" ful animals. Under the Union Jack live repreâ€" sentatives of all races of the world. The Union Jack also imbues one with a sense of the power and greatness of the Empire to which we belong, and makes us realize the extent of our kinship throughout the world. Sir John A. Macdonald, the first THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO artin Prime Minister of the Dominion of. Canada, said in his first election adâ€" dress: "My firm belief is that the prosâ€" perity of Canada dep>nds upon its perâ€" manent connection with the Mother Country.‘‘ And, half a century later, with the shadow of death upon him, he gave utterance to these words, "Undear the bread folds of the Union Jack, we enjoy he most ample liberty to govern ourselves as we please, and at the same time, we participate in the advantages which flow from association with the mightiest empire the. world has ever seen. Not only we are free to manage cur domestic concerns, but practically we possess the privilege of making our own treaties with foreign countries, and in our relations with the outside world, we enjoy the prestige inspired by a | consciousness. of the fact that behind us tewers the majesty of England." "You may say it‘s an old bit of bunting, You may call it an old coloured rag, But freedom has made it majectic, And time has ennobled our Flag!" NORTHERN TRIP IMPRESSED CHAMBERS OF COMM The impression made upon the:memâ€" bers of the ‘Canadian Chambers of Commerce by their tour through the North Lind last month is suggested by an article in the monthly letter issued by the Royal Bank of Canada for Noâ€" vember. This letter in this conneciion says:â€" ‘The industries of Northsrn Ontario | WÂ¥S and Northern Quebec are mining, forâ€" | f0r â€" estry, the tourist trage and agriculture. ; fant During the first ten days of October la Sm nearly one hundred representatives of [ed the Canadian Chamber of Commerce : WEn! visited Kapluskasing, Cochrane, North mini Bay, Rouyn, Timmins, Swastika, Iroâ€" some quois Falls, Abitibi, Cobalt and Sudâ€" Pect bury. It was their desire to secure a COU better knowledge of these industries and ';WOU] a more sympathetic understanding of | MIni the aims and ambitions of those who | the are developing the resources of thiszthat northern frontier. | mon _ "In spite of the present low prices for inetals, newsprint and agricultural proâ€" *ducts, there was optimism, courage and enthusiasm throughout this countmy. The men believe in the future of their land are confident that the north counâ€" try will be the stage for developments no less improssive than those which have been taking place in other parts of Canada." "These members of the Chamber of Commerce tramped for miles through the catacombs which have been hewn ou; of solid rock to gain access to the troves of gold, silver, copper and nickel. In the stopes they listened to the conâ€" tinuous roar of the miners‘ drills. In the mills, where the rocks were crushâ€" ed to fine dust before being chemically treated, they studied these great chemiâ€" cal laboratories which recover the treasâ€" ures from the ore. In both mine and mill they talked with the men whose work, courage and imagination are making these riches available. "The people of the north country droave these representatives of Canâ€" adian industry and trade through many miles of rich agricultural land, and old them that in the future the greatâ€" ast source of revenue in that country would be neither from the forests nor the mines but freoem livestock and harâ€" vests. Possibly this confidence in the future of agriculture in this area was the most surprising feature of the trip. "The scenery was impressive and the rcads were excellent. It was easy to understand that the increase in the inflow of visitors has been so rapid that accommodations have become inâ€" adequate. There can be no doubt that this country is destined to become one of the great playgrounds of the world. The completion of thei railroad to James Bay will open another imporâ€" tant area to visitors where thousands will come to look upon the waters of this mighty inland sea. Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"News that the skeletons of whales have been found wnere once there was a central sea in Michigan may be interpreted as cheerâ€" ful evidence that the United States is really drying up. SHKOPPING DAYS MMERCE Just at the present time the prospectâ€" of | tor should receive more notice and creâ€" ie | dit (in all meanings of the word) than y |\he is receiving. The shakeâ€"up in the d |stock brokerage business has sericusly â€" | interfered with the work of the pros-‘ n | pector. While the brokerage houses: |were going full swing the prospector | was occasionally able to secure money lfor the development of properties he 'fancxed It is pirfectly true that only er | small proportion of the money securâ€" of led from the public by some brokers ce went to the prospector or to actual t mining, but there was some and that ;. some came in very useful. The prosâ€" q. pector often thought that if the broke: a could be kept out of the picture theri rld ivvould be so much more money for thi of | mining game itself. Recently, however. p | the prospector has found that the fact nS!that: the broker is rot getting the ‘money does not mean that he will get of it. It is apphrent that some new plan crhImU.Sb be evolved for the financing of ym |the prospector, and to assure a fair he |‘ deal for the prospector it is necessary el. \that the value of the prospector must 4 ‘ be recognized. It would be well, indeed m'f‘ all to very clearly recognize and h |apprec1atn what is said by the Gsoloâ€" gical Survey:â€""Without the prospector 11- ‘there would be little mining in Canâ€" 'ada. toâ€"day, and without him the presâ€" nd ‘ent plrosperous mining industry would ica." soon falil.‘" 1~ GEQLOGICAL SURVEY SAYS PROSPECTOR 1S ESSENTIAL fSpeciacuilar surm.Sses FOCCivC more consideration than important facts that may be more prosaic but still of essential value. It is so in the case of a recent booklet issued by the Geoloâ€" gical Survey at Ottawa. This booklet is entitled, "Prospecting in Canada," and it is full of very interesting inforâ€" mation. in reviews of the booklet apâ€" pnarmg in the press emphasis is given in nearly every case to an incidental reference to the possibility of diamonds being found in Ontario. This referâ€" ence is only an incidental one but it has the virtue of the spectacular and the romantic and so has been given much notice and attention. . Without denying its admitted interest, it may be ppointed out that the bocklet in quesâ€" tion has many other items that deserve emphasis. There are the references, for instance, to the prospector and his value to the country. This is someâ€" thing that is too often overlooked. In the preference to the booklet, "Prosâ€" pecting in Canada," the position and importance of the prospector are put in a nutshell in the following little paraâ€" graph:â€""Without the prospector there would be little mining in Canada toâ€" day, and without him the present prosâ€" perous mifiing industry would soon fail. Whether the curve of mineral producâ€" tion will continue to soar as it has durâ€" ing the past 25 years will depend, not entirely but in an important «degree, upon the energy and skill with which prospectmg is conducted. It is highly important that prospectors should be encouraged and afforded faculties for their eduction. Fortunately these Oobâ€" jects are being attained with reasonable success." riue of the Prospcctor Refe Bookilct Just Is ued by the gical Survey at Ollawa. Odd Facts Recorded The booklet, "Prospecting in Canâ€" ada," covers a wide rangs of subjects. It describes "packs," refers to the use of "huskies," gives a brief review of gems and precious stones, presents a formidable list of Canadian minerals, tells ‘the prospector how to survey A stretch of irregular ground, contains cdad and curious facts such as that at extreme depths any rock will flow alâ€" most like putty into an opening or fissure, though in a strong rock like granite a wide crack may exist as far down as eleven miles below the surface. In the booklet, magntic, electrical, electroâ€"magnetical and gravitational efforts to locate mineral bodies are exâ€" amined, and though a few examples of successful and profitable work with these ‘"fancy‘ methods of prosprcting are named, the general impression givâ€" en is that there is still a long way to go with these instruments before they can have wide application. The writers confess, however, that many of the reâ€" sults obtained and the detail of instruâ€" ments used are regarded by the manuâ€" facturers as trade secrets and that it is difficult to make a fair conclusion. One of the limitations of the elecâ€" trical method is that so far orebodies more than 500 feet below ground leve} could not be detected. Where the rock surface is exposed such a deposit woulc be likely in any case to be discoverable. Where a few feet of glacial drift coverâ€" ed the rock the value of the electrical prospector might be much greater. more than 500 feet below ground leve! could not be detected. Where the rock surface is exposed such a deposit woulc be likely in any case to be discoverable. Where a few feet of glacial drift coverâ€" ed the rock the value of the electrical prospector might be much greater. The most curious of these seientific attempts to discover mineral is the seisâ€" mic, in which an explosion of dynamite or other agent is recorded on a sensitive seismograph, the suspected body of ore lying between the blast and the instruâ€" ment. The waves travel faster through certain kinds of rock and ore than others, and the results in some cases indicate the presence of oreâ€"bodics. In the reference to gems and precious stones mention is made of the fact that the total world production is about $80,â€" 000,000.00, of which $76,112,000.00 is in diamonds, and only $1,104,000.00 in the next m,cQt valuable stone the sanphire. ty i L L E. Reference is made in the booklet to the possibility cf diamonds in Onâ€" tario. In widely separated localities south of the Great Lakes rough diaâ€" monds have been found in glacial drift gouged out of some Canadian hillsice by the ice and transported there. Somewhere in Canada lies the mothorâ€" of these diamonds, perhaps. It has never bsen located. Laborers enâ€" gaged in building the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway in 1903 are said to have worn bright the surface of pcctor Referred to in uesd by the Geoloâ€" Many a vein of silver over which they walked. A blacksmith, Larose, smelted the> ore in his forge bofore its value was reâ€" cognized, the handbook relates. _ But not all discoveries are accidental, nor are they all on the surface. "In Turner Valley, near Calgary, | great flows of natural gas, natural gasâ€" ‘oline, and pstroleum are being drawn are they all on the surface. "In Turner Valley, near Calgary, great flows of natural gas, natural gasâ€" oline, and pstroleum are being drawn from a milse underground, although there is little if any trace of these useâ€" fui substances on the surface." "The goldâ€"copper Horne oreâ€"body in Rouyn district, Quebec, was entirely c:vered by ~soil and denso forest gsrowth," records W. H. Collins. "Acâ€" cording to an official of the Mond Nicâ€" kel Company, their Frood oreâ€"extension in Sudbury district was disclosed by scientific use of the magpetic needle and the diamond drill." The need for the prospector to trace the geological history. and clues back to their source or onward to their logical conclusions receives mention in the booklet. Examples are cited of minerâ€" al discoveries made by tracing the glaciâ€" al debris back to its source. Iron ore in the Lake Superior region, fluorite in Madoc district, corundum in the Banâ€" croift district, and goldâ€"bearing quartz veins in Nova Scotia have been located in this manner. Similar methods apâ€" ied to the copper of the Coppermine River may result some day in a spectacular find of native metal. One slab weighing 600 pounds has been :found and many smaller pieces. Major L. T. Burwash, who spent the early summer of 1930 at Hearne, where the Coppermine flows into the Arctlc is hopeful that the motherâ€"lode will be found. Sometimes river float of minâ€" crals gives the prospector a clue as to the site of important metal ores. The method, unfortunately for Canada, can only be applied in regions not affected by great glacial age, since metals disâ€" covered in rivers elsewhere, may be fragments brought from other plarts by ‘he ice. In the Yukon gold and tungâ€" sten have been so located. Occasionalâ€" ly fragments found at the base of cliffs or mountains have given prospectors a clue. In Gaspe, Quebsc, leadâ€"zinc oreâ€" bodies were its source. The origina‘ lisecvery that led to the exploitation of ‘the Keno Hill ores, Yukon, was made by tracing talus uphill. For a time we snubbed the potato rather rudely, in our zeal to banish excess weight. But now that strenuous dieting is no longer the fashion, potaâ€" toes are again firmly entrenchâ€" ed in our menus. Meals aren‘t meals, we find, without them. To make up for past neglect, I su%- gest that you send potatoes to the tab in a constantly varying dress.

Other times, nothing will fit in the menu so well as bursting baked otatoes, golden with butter and glowâ€" ing with paprika. _ With sweetbreads or a tiny chop you may prefer the daintiness of creamed or parsley potatoes; with thick and juicy steaks, the heartiness of lyonnaise or O‘Brien au gratin potatoes. Serve them scalloped, fried and broiled. For more elaborate dinners, have potatoes souffle, in the half shell or French fried.
