Belief in such an at- tack has come to be a fundamental tenet of the Bolshevik creed. And year after year. in other countries. Soviet organizers have gone on working to- ward civil war and world revolution. “What has happened in Spain is what will happen in other countries it and when the Red organizers judge con- ditions to be ripe for the use of force. There is no greater mistake than to class Communism as just another poli- tical philosophy like Conservatism, Liberalism. or even Socialism. Any one who takes the trouble to read any of the basic Marxian literature will be left in little doubt as to the reality of the difference. The Reds believe that the struggle betwen Capitalism and Communism is a life-and-death strug- gle. They believe that it can be settled ultimately only by force. They are glad to take advantage of any privi- leges accorded to them in capitalistic countries, through which they can dis- seminate propaganda. pending the ap- peal to force. But. in the last analysis. they believe that their aims can be achieved and consolidated only by ruth- countries, through wnicn they can dis- scminate propaganda. pending the ap- peal to force. But, in the last analysis. they believe that their aims can be achieved and consolidated only by ruth- less violence, “It is futile to talk of a reconciliation between Western civilization and Rus- sian Communism, as the latter is now constituted. The driving force behind the Red movement is a fanatical zeal to eaect world revolution. Nations which trifle with Communist organiza- tions are blind to the plain facts." is an attack upon Red Russia by the capitalistic countries. The two-faced attitude is effectively explained in an editorial article in The Globe last week. The Globe says:â€" “Almost at the moment when Dic- tator Stalin was telling the Centrol Committee of the Communist Party that the Five-Year Plan had partially failed because of the danger of a capi- talist war against Russia, Spanish Reds were attempting an actual revo- lution against their own Government. The two events are related. For, while it is no doubt true that millions of Rus- sian Communists really are afraid of an invasion of Russia. the most widespread war danger in the world today is that arising from the Bolshevist plans for world revolution. History is full of instances where nations pretended to fear attack and hypocritically affected to seek defence for themselves, while at the same time they were secretly planning to let loose upon the world all the horrors of a war of their own making. The case of Russia, however, is the most brazen and evil example of this vicious and malicious policy. The Soviet has at- tempted to foster civil war in every country allowing the presence of the emissaries of the communistic clique. At the same time the communist czars have assured the world and their own people that the one great war they fear the year has generally seen slightly Iincreased output due to the annual gclean- -up of the mill. Earnings Higher ‘ On the year's production of $4,030,318, as reported. earnings for the Dome Mine's fiscal year, ending with Decem- ber 31, will be proportionately above those in 1931, when net earnings were $1,871,746 before deductions, the latter including $500,000 which appeared as a. new item, “depletion of claims,” and around which shareholders debated with officials. Fostering Conflict While ' Pretending to Fear War H931 In the year 1932 the company has benefitted greatly from a full year’s exchange on gold output, compared with three months in 1931. On the year's higher production, earnings are estimated as running to $2 per share or better. The company has 953,334 shares issued, with full dividend for the past year being $1.40 per share. It is on this assumption that a higher rate is assumed for the year 1933. about $12.30 per share. Dome’s Production Dome Mines, Porcupine. had produc- tlon valued at $322,284 in the month of December. compared with production of $321,089 in November; $308,513 in Octobe'. and $291,841 in the month of December. 1931. Production for the past full 12 months is announced at $4,030,318, compared with $3,486,506 in the year previous. The last month of the year has generally seen slightly increased output due to the annual clean-up of the mill. sh 90 dist East Geduld Mines Give Profit t0 Dome Dividend Announcement by South Afri- can Concern will be 0!

Mill operations since production started last fall have been highly sat- isfactory. Millheads have been run~ ning fully up to expectations. the average for the month of December having been $18.76 per ton treated, and for the week ending Jan. 7 were $17.06 a ton.

A despatch from Elk Lake says that Ashley Gold Mining Corporation 0111- cial‘s expect that the crosscut being driven on the SOD-foot level will inter- sect the new vein to the west within the next ten days. To reach this ob- jective approximately 180 feet of cross- cutting was required. The occurrence of this vein was first made known by surface indications. Later three diamond drill holes were put in, two of which were vertical and 500 feet apart, and one horizonal, from the 500-foot_1evel. Assay results from the drill cores indicate that values are comparable with the main Ashley vein. The winze has been sunk to a depth of 750 feet and stations are being cut at the 625 and 750 levels. The work of opening up these horizons will com- mence within the next three or four weeks. Work has been Started on Still Another Airport With all necessary construction equipment on the site 7 miles east of Armstrong on the C.N.R., and between the latter town and Wagaming. work is expected to commence shortly on another of the chain of landing fields being built across the Dominion under the supervision of the Department of National Defence. Workers, who will be recruited from unerpployed rank. are expected daily to be Installed at th locaticn. - Despatches from Montreal last week say that the, directors of the Siscoe Gold Mines, Limited, placed the stock of the company on an annual dividend basis of 12 cents per share. to be dis- tributed in four quarterly dividends of three cents each‘. The first‘of these dividends will be distributed at the end of March. The management of the company pointed out that the action was taken to ensure the regular rate, while if earnings justify payments these will be made in the form of bonuses. Results Continue Good at Ashley Gold Mines SISCOE GOLD MINES STOCK 0N TWELVE-CENT DIVIDEND The Northern News last week says:â€" “Leaving behind a farewell note say- ing “I don't want to live," Mrs. Saini Muonan, 24 years old, living at the corner of Prospect and Hudson Bay avenues, was taken to the Kirkland district hospital Tuesday night in a serious condition. She had swallowed poison, according to a police repbrt. The note, in Finnish, was interpreted for the authorities, and indicated the young woman had quarrelled with her mate, because, it was said, she felt his love was growing cold. Dr. W. C.

These things aré not mysteries to the ordinary prospector, although there were quite obviously some to whom they were news. What seemed to surprise many was the pos- sibility of reducing the chemical con- tents of a mineral to figures. But the remark in the class on the chemical ramifications of prospecting were illu- minating. One man seemed to sum up the feelings of a group when he said: “The n the line pected at With an were highly i] anybody made by the absorb; the remarks of to come man: would get an 4 "One of the things that the govern- ment might do for the prospector is to simplfy the names of minerals. “You need a knowledge of Greek to under- stand the significance of these names,” said one man. “The lecturer has a tough assign- ment. Knowing his subject thorough- ly he nevertheless apparently feels constrained to couch his message in terms easily understandable by men of non-technical training. It is quite a stunt. It was observed that when he got warmed up he would temporarily lapse into scientifc description or for- mulae. hauling himself up short and resuming in simpler terms and phrases. He certainly is working under a handi- cap yet he makes an admirable job of it. metic and I threw trana were anybc “The method of instruction is well designed to give even the neophyte a good idea of what prospecting is all about.

The doctor talks about its general "and particular characteristics and then asks the class to name it. Of course some men re- cognize it at sight but even the ex- perienced prospectors are sometimes at a loss to definitely classify the sample. Arguments develop. After the first few days this observer noted that the old-timers were pretty cautious in com- ing to a conclusion. When they were proven wrong they said the light was bad; it wasn‘t up to much at that. However, the following dialogue was overheard when pyrrhotite was under examination and had been identified: “Prospectorâ€"I would never find any of that stuff. “Partnerâ€"Why not? ”There‘s lots of it up north and it‘s easy to identify. “Prospectorâ€"Yeah. But did you ever hear of the Toronto policeman who found the body on Roncesvalles Ave. and had to drag it out to Queen Street so that he could write up his report?” Dr. Burwash Able ! in Explaining Work ties. Where did all these men come from? Some of them were obviously students. a large number were real prospectors but a certain and consider- able proportion of the crowd were men who had not previously followed the trail. Also there was a sprinkling of people who had just come in out of the cold wind. “Dr. Burwash of the Ontario Depart- ment of Mines has been conducting a highly successful Prospectors Class in Toronto, about 400 men turning out and temporarily swamping the facili- ties. Where did all these men come Last week The Advance made note of the special classes for prospectors then being held in Toronto. There were over 400 taking in the classes at Toronto. This included experienced prospectors and ones that knew less than nothing about prospecting; it included men with technical training, and men with little training of any kind; it included the well-educated and those with little schooling or advan- tages. To successfully present a case to a big group like that was assuredly some chore. Any man who could carry through such a work with even partial success certainly deserves some credit. Evidently Dr. Burwash made a notable success of the work. “Grab Samples" says:â€" cessary lntellig week to I Dept. of classes for is a quflcu that there Dlmcult Task In Carrying on Classes for Prospector-s. but Dr. Smash Handles It In Eflecuve Way.

Other farmers in the neighbourhood have reported hearing wolf packs at night, he pointed out. but Friday mom- lng was the first time the animals had proved bold enough to put in an ap- pearance in the daytime. The incident ,occurred at 8 o‘clock. The unwelcome guests. one a large timber wolf and the other a small member of the brush species, had crossed a quarter mile clearing and were withing a few hundred yards of the flock when noticed, Stanley stated. The sheep had just been turned loose on the farm by the brothers, who were about their morning chores atthe time. Leaving his brother, Thomas stand- ing at a point between the wolves and the sheep, in order that the former wouldn't attack the flock in the mean- time, Stanley said he made his way to the house to secure a rifle but, on his return, the animals had left. The wolves would have undoubtedly killed some of the animals during their ab- sence, if both had left the scene, he Evidently made daring by the lack of food in the woods, two wolves, about to attack a large flock of sheep on the Visa Wasa farm of Thomas and Stan- ley Brennan, two miles south of Calâ€" lander, were frightened from the scene by the timely appearance of the two brothers last Friday morning. One of the men attempted to secure a rifle from the nearby farmhouse in time to get a shot at the would-be marauders, but on his return, the ani- mals having noticed their presence, had retreated into the woods. Themaycr of Cache Bay. R. Forget. who was elected by acclamation on Dec. 26th, 1932. was forced to resign last week, the reason given being that he could not read or write. Some members of council were willing that the clerk should read motions and other things for the mayor. but the majority of council objected. “If that is the way the council feels ~about. it," said the Cache Bay mayor, “then all I ‘ As The Advance has pointed out on innumerable occasions there is a large body of old-timers, prospectors, sett- lers, lumbermen and others, who be- lieve that wolves will not attack human beings, except under very rare occa- sions. The Sault Ste. Marie Star gave a very large measure of publicity to the statement of a gentlenman whose last name was Martin, who was quoted to the effect that the man who claimed to have been eaten by a wolf was a liar and the truth was not in him. Some colour is lent to Mr. Martin‘s theory by the action of the wolves south of Callander last week. These wolves were bold enough to attack some sheep right in broad daylight but they were not brave enough to tackle a man who was unarmed. The man in question had all the nerve the wolves lacked, for despite Mr. Martin, The Sault Star, and even The Porcupine Advance, it is one thing to believe that wolves are cowards and afraid of men, and still another and a different thing to stand between wolves and their prey on the chance that the woives will not put the matter to the test. Here is the story of the daylight raid attempted by wolves near Callander, and its conclusion when one man frightened away the wolves from a flock of sheep:â€" can sara. whose wedding took place this week. There was a large attendance of the friends of the young people who are both popular in town. A very en- joyable evening was spent by all, and the young couple were the recipients of hosts of good wishes from all pre- sent. A surprise party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. G.

'but jumps into the breach and achieves what other groups would attempt to secure from one or another of the organized authorities. The special reference in this case is to the settlers in Dryden and Cleland townships. some eighteen miles southeast of Sudbury. In this group in the two townships named were a number of settlers who had taken up the “back-to-the-land” movements. They started out to build themselves farms and homes and so far they have been doing. fairly well. While everything seemed to be going along finer than silk,. there were one or two special needs that the new set- tlers felt they should have at once and the way they wanted it. One of these things desired was a school where the children of the Dryden and Cle- land townships would receive education to fit them for the battle of life. The settlers might have appealed to the government to supply them with a school, but they knew that such a thing would require time to result in a school structure of any sort, and they want- ed that school in a hurry. They had built their own houses, so why not build their own school. They immedi- ately set about it. and to-day they The next. regular meeting of the Timmins town council will be bekl on Manday alternoon, Jan. 23:13, oom- mencing at 4 pm. have a nice log schoc made desks and 0th Everybody in the new c tributed one way or ano that new school.

In addition to the new school, the settlers have a regular net- “Mining in Ontario requires an ad- venturous spirit, which'is only present when the prizes are big,” he declared. “Stripping and cross-trenching of like- ly country might be carried out under government direction, but I am of the opinion that the search for new dis- coveries would not be pressed with the same intensity as under private in- terests. Such schemes have been most successful when attempted in districts containing alluvial gold areas, which are absent in this province.” 'Tells Experiences 1n 1 the Barren Lands Hon. Charles McCrea, Ontario’s min- ister of mines, admitted a similar plan had been suggested for this province, but that he felt prospecting and devel- opment could best be carried out under the incentive held out in private en- terprise. Theodore Kipp of the natural re- sources commission of Manitoba, in commenting on mineral development in the western province. outlined a scheme instituted there for alleviation of un- employment. A corporation is being organized under the aegis of the gov- ernment to put several thousands of unemployed unmarried men to work doing surface work in district believed to hold promise of gold deposits. Climatic conditions in the Ungava Peninsula are not as severe as gener~ ally supposed, Mr. Airth stated Dur- ing the month of February temperature averaged only 19 degreees below zero. but severe blizzards, lasting many days, at times made travel impossible for the white man. Mr. Airth spent 16 months in the district for the Cyril Knight Prospecting Co., Ltd. During the late winter months caches were established with the aid of native Eskimos and dog teams for a distance of over 100 miles inland. along the strike of a long belt of greenstones. As soon as travel opened in the spring this belt was prospected. While a large area of sulphide mineralization. speci- men samples from which gave non- commercial value in gold. nickel and copper, was discovered, time available and work performed was insufficient to bring to light anything of major im- portance. Trials and tribulations of prospecting in the barren lands of the upper east coast of Hudson Bay were portrayed by W. B. Alrth. Toronto mining engineer. in an illustrated address to members of the Toronto branch Canadian Insti- tute of Mining and Metallurgy. and of the Ontario Prospectors' Association in the Royal York hotel recently. Leaving Moose Factory in July 1931. Mr. Airth travelled by canoe with three companions 1.200 miles up the east coast to Cape Smith. A camp. erected from materials brought around through Hudson’s Straits by the famous nor- thern steamship “Ungava,” was built and supplies and fuel for a year's oper- ations assembled.
