(Border Cities Star) - Senator Gideon Robertson will and general agreement in his assertion that men who refuse to accept gainful em- ployment will be off the books for re- liei from either the Provincial or Fed- eral Governments. The Star believes that most unemployed married and single men in Canada are anxious to be offered jobs. Once there is a chance to earn an honest living. these men will accept. gladly. They are not idle of their own choice. It is because they have been unable to find anything to do :hat they seek relief work from the Governments. There may be a few who will turn down gainful employ- ment. But that happens even in the best of times. The unemployed man who Wants to work is given sympathy. No one can be expected to shed any tears over the few chaps who want to sit back and just do nothing. ’_____________r, WSSSX‘SSSS“SS$S\S\SSSSSSSSSS‘SSKSXX‘XSSSXW Otawa Journalzâ€"The skins of near- ly all reptiles are becoming pepular for shoe leather.

Department of Mines, Ottawa, has issued a geologi- cal map sheet (No. 271A) of the Rouyn- Harricanaw area, Province of Quebec, covering an area extending from the Ontario-Quebec boundary east to Louvicourt. Pascalis, Courville, and Carpentier townships. The area came into prominence with the discovery in 1922 of the property now operated by Noranda Mines, Limited, and during the present season a keen search for new sources of gold is underway. The map sheet is issued to accompany a memoir (No. 166) on the area by H. C. Cooke. W. F. Jones, and J. B. Mawdsley which will be published shortly, and may be obtained by application to the director, Geological Survey, Depart- ment of Mines, Ottawa.

They could be hauled around by a tractor which would supply the power for crushing. The prospectors could store up their ore until the mill made its call, stay for a few months, made a gold brick or two and moved on to the next prospect. This would be a good place to say that the government should supply the mill but. by using a lot of restraint I am able to get post that. I don’t think this is a good idea myself but maybe somebody else will. Can you see what I can see that's ,wrong with this portable mill idea?" The old-time prospector. now in the Red Lake area, could not have chosen a better place to send his little proposal than to “Grab Samples." In proof of that statement, here is the repiy of “Grab Samples". as published in the “Grab Samples" column immediately after the letter by the Red Lake old- timer:â€" “This would 'be a good idea ifâ€" “Ifâ€"The small gold properties were on a trunk highway. Complaint has been made on more than one occasion that certain farm- ers mine their farms instead of farm- ing on them. That very complain: has recently been made in regard to the West. or certain sections of the West. The idea associated with mining is that it ‘5 a process of getting everything possible out of the ground and then going away and leaving the hole be- hind. Of course, in practice this does no: work out as it appears to many. A whole lot has to be put into the ground before anything can be taken out. A whole lot of the mines in this North Land have been fairly fertilized with finances before the crop of gold or silver or nickel or whatnot could be garnered. But despite these facts there are cer- tain people who think that to use a farm on the principle that you handle a mine is to do it all wrong. Now, however. along comes an old- time prospector, who, whatever his views on mining a farm. thinks it a good plan to farm a mine. In other words. he suggests that the methods used in connection with farm opera- tions be applied to mining. especially to the new and small mines. But here is his suggestion as he told it to that au- thority, “Grab Samples" in The Nor- thern Miner. Here is the proposition of the old-time prospector, in his own words:â€" “Here is something for your Sample Column," writes a Red Lake prospec- tor. “I was brought up on a farm and still recall that every fall the thresh- ing mill used to call around and take care of all the grain that .my father grew during the year. This was a steam-powered outfit supplying its own traction. They used to thresh the grain in a day or two days and when they left we had everything around the place filled up with wheat, oats, peas and barley. We used to feel pretty proud to go out and look at the grain- ery and other storage places. Nearly all our year's earnings were visible right there. ' to it. "Ifâ€"The mill were built on a scow‘ “From what the writer learned on a recent holiday in the farming section of the Ottawa Valley it would appear that the farmer lives between thresh- ings on his cows, hens, chickens, pigs, potatoes. corn, onions, beets, cabbages, turkeys, calves, apples. bees, beans, tur- nips. lettuce, berries, ducks, geese, sheep, wool, milk and tourists. As a matter of fact, to hear him tell it, he simply threshes in order to get money to pay his taxes. The prospector can't compete." “Ifâ€"The ore were high grade, say, over $25 to the ton, and there were lots of it. “‘Ifâ€"The prospector could discover some means of eating while he was waiting for the mill.

While Timmins has something of the sort about once in ten years. Cobalt seems to having some- thing doing about every ten days in the way of municipal battle. The latest municipal fuss in Cobalt arises from a Inland Revenue Act liquor case in the police court. The provincial police officer appearing in the case swore in court that he heard a child in a house which the police were raiding tell an occupan; of the house that Mayor O'Gorman had come and said that the police were around. This provincial constable, Constable Stromberg, was very positive in his statement in regard to the child saying that Mr. O’Gor- man had given warning of the ap- proach of the police. On the other hand, Mayor O‘Gorman denies warn- ing the people in the house raided. At the meeting of the Cobalt council the mayor brought the question forward. He admitted being on the premises but positively denied giving any warning. “I am no stool pigeon." he commented, “and if I did a thing like that I would not be fit to be mayor of Cobalt." Councillor Boughton suggested that if the mayor were in the house in ques- tion he should take the consequences. This councillor did net consider the matter one for the council to take any action upon. Councillor Wainwright said that the affair put all members of the council in the same boat and he did not want to sit in the council ii such things were going on. Mayor 0'- Gorman declared that there would be more about the matter and that such things had been going on too long and that he would not tolerate them any longer. He also said that a man who In reporting the death of Mrs. John Gray, of Englehart, The Northern News las week in its Englehart correspond- ence sayszâ€"“It is with regret that we report the death of Mrs. Isabelle Gray, aged 78 years, wife of Mr. John'Grav, which occurred here on Monday last.

Although he had good intentions, something went wrong with the me- chanism and he is now in jail for “saucing” an omcer. Percy's car was so arranged that when he wanted to slow up. it would shout, “I am going to slow up," or “I am going to stop." The car would announce that it was going to turn right or left and said “thank you" to those who gave it the right of way. Percy‘s mistake was that he had one more record in the car. and that was the record that went wrong. It was supposed to yell at a road hog, “You big stifl. why don't you get out of the way?"

Of Interest to the Public. A despatch from Hamilton, Ontario. last week sumâ€"Estimated to be worth $1,750,000 the largest. grape crop in the history of the Niagara Peninsula is now maturing. "Not only will the fruit belt of On- tario establish a record for production this year, but the quality of the crop will set a new high standard. produc- ers declare. Warm days and an abundant supply of moisture have combined to produce one of the most promising yields in history and those who eat Ontario grapes this year will enjoy them at their ‘best. The vineyards of Niagara Peninsula have steadily increased in size for the past decade and this year 2,000 acres of new crop will come into bearing. With the increase in producâ€" tion growers are finding new markets and with the development of new trade channels more Canadians are being af- forded the opportunity of enjoying the luscious fruits of Ontario‘s fertile gar- den. For several years wineries have ac- quired the bulk of the crop for wine making purposes, but recently the pro- ducers have catered to a growing mar- ket in different parts of Canada, the appetizing, health-giving grape being popular everywhere it was sent. As the demand for basket shipments increased the growers extended their vineyards and this season a crop ample to meet the demands of the entire Dominion will be available. In their raw state, Canadian grown grapes find a ready sale, but countless other uses have made them one of the chief crops of the fruit belt. For wine making they are unexcelled and the pungent snap of jelly made from On- tario grapes, whets the appetite. Grape juice, an unfermented beverage, is an- other popular drink easily made. A small quantity of grapes will produce enough juice to provide the home with a win- ter’s supply at low cost. The North Bay Nugget sayszâ€"“An interesting development of the aband- onment in Russia of the pure Soviet method of work and the replacing of it with a system of piecework and grad- ed wages according to skill is also a change back to what practically amounts to Sunday observance again. The Soviet principle had been a four or five day week so that some of the people were working all the time. Add- ed to that was a scheme of three shifts in the 24 hours in some factories. In theory it worked out all right and it fitted the Soviet ideal in that it de- prived the religiously minded of their Sunday, whatever day it fell upon. In practice, though it has not worked out very well, it is now being abandoned in large measure and will probably be completely abandoned. The factories are changing back to a six day week and industrial life is beginning to take Picking will start within a few weeks and the officials in charge of the mar- keting of the crop have already com- pleted arrangements for the handling of the immense tonnage. Only the fin- est grapes will be exported from the Peninsula and government supervised packing will assure the purchaser of a high quality product. Modern trans- portation facilities will be provided and the product will be placed in refrigera- tor cars a few hours after the clusters have been removed from the vines. Buyers will be able to obtain Niagara grapes in the best possible condition, fresh and firm, with the appealing flavour which has made them popular wherever they have been offered. SW’EEPING REFORMS ARE NOT WORKING WELL IN RUSSIA on the same aspect that it has in other countries. Actually what it means is that the Soviet finds human nature does not change as readily as was an- ticipated and that these sweeping re- forms will have to wait until the time is ripe for them."
